The Sokoto State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has announced that it will not participate in the national convention being organised in Abuja by a faction of the party aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The state chapter said its decision was consistent with its stance of remaining neutral amid the lingering leadership crisis rocking the opposition party.
Speaking in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Saturday, the state Publicity Secretary, Hassan Sanyinawal, said the Sokoto PDP does not recognise any faction and would therefore stay away from the exercise.
“We are not attending the convention in Abuja, just as we refused to attend the Ibadan convention.
“We are members of the PDP, but we do not belong to any faction. So, we will not be part of the convention,” he said.
