PDP Urges Prayers For Ex-Go vernor

The PDP Chairman in Nasarawa State, Mr Yunana Iliya, has urged party members to pray for former Gov. Aliyu Doma, who is currently in Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) detention over corruption allegations.
Iliya made the call on Friday at a meeting of the party’s State Executive Council in Lafia.
He stressed what the ex-governor needed most from party members at this time was rigorous prayers to enable him to overcome his current travails.
Iliya, however, urged the party members not to allow the situation to dampen their spirits, assuring them that Doma would soon be exonerated of all the charges.
“We all know that he (Doma) ran a transparent and accountable administration, in line with the people-oriented policies of our party.
“Given the political power equation in the state now, we cannot rule out the possibility of our rival party trying to manipulate facts, just to get at us through such petitions that have resulted in the detention our former governor,’’ he said.
Iliya, however, implored the party members to remain resolute and united, stressing that the situation called for their steadfastness, perseverance and sacrifice.
The Tide reports that PDP chieftains at the meeting include Yusuf Ayitogo, the PDP National Vice-Chairman ( North Central Zone), Michael Abdul, the former deputy governor, Ahmed Mohammed, the former Speaker of the state Assembly, and some ex-commissioners.
