Zamfara state APC Publicity Secretary, Idris Gusau has said that the Peoples Democratic Party PDP has consistently been a “confused” political party in the state and the indigenes of the state cannot put up with this style of politics.

He noted that the party’s leadership is constantly in disarray at all levels of government, from the local to the national.

Speaking in an interview with the Daily Post, Gusau stated that the PDP is wasting time in the state since it is not a formidable party. Adding that the party has failed to put their house in order much less consider opposing the ruling party.

“Despite that, the party can only bark but cannot bite because it does not have grassroots supporters in the state,” Gasau said.

The Secretary continued that the PDP was meant to be in charge of the state since 1999 but it was unable to do so due to an internal issue that was happening in the party.

He asserted that the PDP in the state has failed to put the necessary formidable infrastructure in place, and that no party in Nigeria can challenge the ruling party without doing so.

Gusau was of the view that, most party members were deflecting to other parties due to inconsistency inside the PDP. He urged the opposition party to get its house in order before publicly challenging the incumbent party.

Idris Gasau claims that their governorship candidate, Dr. Dauda Lawal Dare is a moneybag, they seem to have forgotten that financial means alone do not guarantee political success.

“The APC leaders in the state know what it takes them to be closer to the grassroots, which Dare cannot dare sacrifice because he is a committed business mogul,” Gasau said.

He noted that Dare, the PDP’s candidate for governor in the state was not doing anything to improve the party’s reputation there, instead he spends all of his time in Kaduna, Abuja, or abroad in the hope that he could control Zamfara State from those locations, which is impossible.

“The people of the State have gone beyond that level because everybody is now wiser in the State, unlike before when people were following parties and not individual political worth,” he said.
