Mr Charles Idahosa, member, Board of Trustees, BoT, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused some national officers of the party from APC-controlled northern states of fuelling the ongoing crisis in the party in Edo State.
He said this in Abuja at a meeting hosted by the party’s national Vice-Chairman, Dan Orbih, on Tuesday.
Idahosa alleged that the leaders were ‘acting as mercenaries bent on selling the soul of the party in Edo to the highest bidder.’
He spoke against the background of controversies that trailed the recent election of ward ad-hoc delegates in Edo.
He said the issues raised by the nine aspirants who had protested the Saturday’s election were serious.
He, therefore, warned that if they were not immediately resolved that the PDP would be dead and buried in Edo.
Idahosa, a former Political Adviser during former Adams Oshiomhole administration alleged that what led to the crisis in the party were fueled by PDP officials from core northern states presently controlled by the APC.
He claimed that having failed to deliver their states to the PDP they were now on a mission to cash out in Edo.
“I want to make a prediction and I am directing this to our national vice-chairman to carry it to the NWC, National Working Committee of the party.
“The people who are doing whatever they are doing are from Yobe, Sokoto, all northern states, they will collect what they want to collect and let all of us die here.
“They don’t care because they are not from here. But I want him to carry this message, that I, Charles Idahosa, say if they don’t do the right thing, and correct this anomaly, PDP is dead in Edo,” he said.
