PDP youths disagree with Ahmed Gulak, warn him against Impunity

The Youth groups affiliated to the office of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) National Youth Leader dissociates self from Ahmed Gulak self-declaration.

The decision was unanimously reached after brief meeting held in the party secretariat, Wadata plaza Abuja.

The group described the self-declaration of the Ahmed Gulak as shameful, disrespect for the party constituted authorities and outright demonstration of impunity and over ambitiousness.
  
The PDP youths while affirming their support for the present National Working Committee (NWC), asked Gulak to support the Party mechanism to ensure free and credible convention comes March 2016.

In a press statement jointly signed by the PDPNYF National Coordinator Usman Okai Austin and National Coordinator PDP young Democrat Hon. Dr Olusegun Aderemi for the young PDP youths group  said the group express disappointment in the action of the Ahmed Gulak which is not enjoying the backing of the North East leadership of the party.

“In as much as we respect him as a senior citizen and leader in our party, we won’t patronize any act of impunity and disregard to the party constitution. We hereby advise him to denounce his declaration and work with the present leadership who are putting all modalities to replace all National Officials whose tenure will soon expire”.

Okaye noted that the right place for such changes should be the PDP National Convection. “We are hopeful that the new leadership will reposition the Party ahead of 2019 general elections when Nigerians will give power back to the PDP and free us from this APC inept government who has turned its Promise of Change slogan to Change of Promise”.

“We stand by our party and its aspiration and resist any form of imposition whereby an individual will hold a press conference and declare himself a Party Chairman”.

“The implication of this action is that anybody else from the Northeast can as well declare himself the Party Chairman which will definitely set in a very bad precedent. This should be discouraged and condemned in totality” Okaye added.
