Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, issued a stern warning to members involved in anti-party activities, declaring zero tolerance for disloyalty ahead of the upcoming Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections.

The warning was delivered during a certificate presentation ceremony held at the PDP FCT secretariat, where candidates for the local council polls received their official nominations.

Speaking on behalf of PDP National Chairman Umar Damagum, the party’s North-central Vice Chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed, outlined the consequences of party disloyalty.

“Any misbehaviour, the party will no longer tolerate it. If anyone feels they are not ready for this task, they should step aside immediately so that we can replace them without delay,” he stated.

Damagum added that any member found engaging in double standards or collaborating with other parties would face disciplinary action.

“We now have functional disciplinary committees at the state and local government levels. If anyone is caught campaigning or organising with other political parties, it will be treated as anti-party activity and they will be disciplined,” he warned.

On preparations for the elections, Damagum assured the people that PDP would protect its votes.

“Nobody will tamper with our election. By God’s grace, we will be at our polling units, ensure the votes are counted, and make sure the rightful winners are announced,” he added.

Speaking at the event, also, FCT PDP Chairman, IsmailaDogara, called for unity among party members, urging leaders to put past differences behind them and work together for victory.

Chair of PDP Reconciliation Committee in the FCT, Hassan Sokedebo, took a swipe at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), claiming their internal problems are greater than those of PDP.
