Enough is enough, we won't allow dismantling of PDP — Bala Mohammed

By Rauf Oyewole 

The Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum has said that the forum would no longer tolerate the activities of some individuals whom he accused of trying to dismantle the party. 

Mohammed took to his official social media handle on Tuesday in reaction to blockade experience at the Party's National Secretariat in Abuja alongside his counterpart from Oyo State, Governor Seyi Makinde, the newly elected Party Chairman and others.

He said that: “As Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, I must state clearly: enough is enough. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) does not belong to any individual, it belongs to Nigerians.

“Regarding the troubling police blockade of our party’s national secretariat, I reaffirm that the PDP Governors’ Forum will not stand by and watch the party be dismantled by those who neither understand its founding principles nor respect its future.”

He added that they are fully committed to working with the newly constituted National Working Committee (NWC) to safeguard the national secretariat, uphold internal democracy, and protect the integrity of the party. ‘We shall do so with unity, strategic coordination, and an unshakable commitment to the rule of law,” he said.

“Let me be clear: the PDP will not be cowed, harassed, or silenced. We have weathered greater storms and emerged stronger. This moment will be no different. We will rise from it more united and more determined.

“I must also caution the presidency: it is a dangerous precedent to empower individuals who lack both character and commitment to democratic values, individuals who misuse state power to settle internal political disputes. Such actions do not serve our country, and they certainly do not serve the PDP. Rather, they undermine the very institutions that bind our democracy together.”
