Kwara PDP to Gbemi Saraki: Please don’t defect

0

Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appealed to Senator Gbemi Saraki not to defect from the party.
Gbemi’s brother and former governor of the North-Central state on PDP platform, Senator Bukola Saraki, is now a leading light in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
State PDP Secretary, Hassan Razaq, in a statement, urged Gbemi not to allow voices of division to overwhelm her.
The statement reads: “Although we are relieved by the assurance that the rumour of the possible defection of Sen. Gbemi Saraki is false and unsubstantiated, nevertheless, we consider it expedient to implore Senator Saraki and her teeming supporters not to allow the voices of division to overwhelm them.
“At this critical time in the life of our party in Kwara State, we believe that all hands must be on deck to sustain the party and lead it to victory in the forthcoming polls.
“As a party, we believe Senator Gbemi Saraki has made invaluable contributions and sacrifices for the PDP in the state and beyond. We particularly noted her maturity and sportsmanship before, during and after the party primaries which produced distinguished Senator Simeon Ajibola as the party’s gubernatorial candidate for the April 11 gubernatorial election in the state.
“It would, therefore, be sad if such an individual, who has immensely uplifted the party in the state, abandon the house she has built at its time of need. This is Kwara PDP’s time of need and we urge Senator Saraki to remain in the party and see through the struggle for the liberation of Kwarans.
“Although it may not be impossible that there are areas of grievances, we believe it is not enough to allow such to derail our focus now ahead of the polls.
“We reiterate that all the genuinely aggrieved are being sorted and the leadership of the party shall do all its best to ensure that all cases of genuine grievances are addressed before the polls”.
