Ahead of the local government Congress of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State, a group under the aegis of Concerned PDP Members (CPM) has called on the party leadership to avoid favouritism and attempts to subvert the party’s electoral processes.
The group warned against a repeat of the court litigations that led to the party losing seats at both the state and National Assemblies.
Speaking on behalf of the group after presenting a letter to the chairman of the party at the state secretariat, the leader, Arch Macham Makut, said, “We are here as PDP members from across every local government of the state. We have come to see the party chairman to state our concerns about the happenings within our party.
“As loyal party members, we do not want to go back to the times where we suffered litigations in court that caused us to lose many seats.
“We want to help the party grow. We love the party and, as faithful members, we have come to express our concerns before the upcoming elections”, he maintained.
“Our concerns are mainly about inter-party affairs. We are facing challenges within the party regarding leadership in the local governments.
“With congresses approaching on the 27th, issues of favouritism and attempts to subvert party processes are troubling.
“Our letter is addressed to the chairman, and this is a family affair that we will discuss when called upon. There is no problem with the party structure at all.”
Recall that prior to the 2023 general elections, the PDP in Plateau State conducted parallel congresses and went through several ligations, leading to the party losing the national and state assembly seats it won in the 2023 general elections.
