Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako has said that it would not be long before the ruling Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, is pronounced dead.

Nyako, in an interview with BBC Hause Service’s afternoon programme, ‘Shirin Rana’, said some of the party’s stakeholders were only hanging in the party because of the political positions they presently occupy.

“People say that the PDP is dead or about to die but a concerned person like me will remain in the party till it dies and give it a befitting burial. If PDP will die, let it die in our hands so that we will give it a befitting burial and mourn her,” he said.

“The party is currently going through its worst times as a result of the highhandedness and anarchy with which the leadership of the party at the National level is addressing issues.

“The problem of the party lies with those stalwarts in Abuja who have succeeded in putting the party in a state of coma, and it is our fervent hope that they will be prevailed upon to do the right thing so that the party can be cured of its ailment.

“You should understand that our visit to former President, Olusegun Obasanjo was not in our capacity as PDP members but out of our concern to provide panacea to the ailment currently bedevilling the party. That is why we are making moves to involve elder statesmen in our consultations.”

He also confirmed that the meeting his colleagues had with two former Heads of State, Ibrahim Babangida and Abudusalami Abubakar, bothered on the ruling party.
