According to him the members of the group cut across the 23 Local Government Areas of the State, are worried about the health and wellbeing of the party in the State.
Prof Maishanu who was the former governorship aspirant of the party in 2019 before stepping down for Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, noted that the group represents a broad spectrum of party members across the nooks and crannies of the state.
He stated that severally they sought audience with the party chairman to seek clarification about his utterance during the party’s stakeholder meetings held in the State recently but he declined.
“We are requesting Bello Goronyo to tell us those who are contracted to sow a seed of destruction in PDP.
“If his utterance is intended to spread unfounded rumors to create a wedge among party members in order to appropriate the party for selfish interest, it would be resisted with vigour.
“We members of the group are Democrat and would resist appointment of party excos instead of election by the party members”.
In a swift reaction to the statement by Prof Maishanu, the PDP publicity secretary in the State, Hassan Sahabi Sannyinawal said PDP is a big family and with time it will resolve its problem.
