Stop Poaching Our Members, PDP Govs Warn APC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum has donated N100million to victims of Zamfara State fire incident, and warned the All Progressives Congress (APC) to desist from attempting to poach its members.
The Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum and Governor of Sokoto State, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, stated this when he led a delegation of PDP governors on a commiseration visit to the Zamfara State Governor, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, in Gusau, last Wednesday.
Tambuwal was accompanied on the visit by the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike; Oyo State Governor, Engr Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde; Taraba State Governor, Darius Dickson Ishaku; Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed; and the Adamawa State Governor, Rt Hon Ahmed Fintiri.
The Sokoto State governor said that instead of genuinely commiserating with the people of Zamfara State, who have been grappling with insecurity and the latest fire incident, the APC opted to play petty politics with the people’s misfortune.
“We, as leaders, must always remain as leaders in providing leadership, and know where and when and how to play politics. How many lives have been lost from when APC was in charge of this Government House till now? How many of them came here to commiserate with the people of Zamfara State. Even those of us that are neighbours.”
Tambuwal announced the donation of N100million from PDP governors to the victims of the recent Tutuwada market fire incident, and assured the people of Zamfara State that the PDP would continue to stand by them.
“This is our home, we the governors of PDP are not visitors. We are fully home and no visitor can replace or supplant the home owner. We have come home, not as visitors but as owners of this home to commiserate with our own people who have been affected by this inferno. I pity any leader who seeks to take advantage of a misfortune to play politics.”
He advised the APC to desist from playing politics and save Nigerians, particularly those in Zamfara State from the prevailing high level of excruciating insecurity and poverty.
