A governership aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in last year Kogi Guber election, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim, has vowed to continue with his case at the supreme Court where he’s challenging the declaration of Engr. Musa Wada as the winner of the party Guber primary.
Some party bigwigs in the state led by the deputy Publicity Secretary, Kabir Mohammed had last weekend accused the Guber aspirant of sabotaging the party quest at the ongoing governership tribunal with his legal tussle at the supreme Court to seek redress after he (Abubakar) had promised to abide by the Appeal court decision; before it rules in Wada’s favour.
The bigwigs also called on the State and National Executive Council’s of the party to suspend both the Guber aspirant and his father, former governor Ibrahim Idris; whom they ascribed were working underground for the ruling APC in the state.
But Abubakar, a son of former governor Ibrahim Idris has described the party bigwigs outburst as an attempt to intimidate and cowed him from getting his desire justice.
Abubakar in a statement on Monday through his media team said, “Mohammed is unhappy that the aggrieved aspirant opted to pursue his case to the Supreme Court and accused him of betrayal of trust. He then called on the State Exco to suspend Abubakar from the party. Undone, he also called on the party National Executive Committee, NEC to sanction a former Governor of the State, Alhaju Ibrahim Idris, whose only crime is being Abubakar’s biological father.
“It is disheartening to see Mohammed and his wayfarers crying ‘blue murder’ over Abubakar’s decision to tow the path of justice. His resolve to approach the highest Temple of justice in the country is born out of patriotism and the need to strengthen internal democracy in our great party.
“Abubakar has not deviated from the spirit of his commitment to the fact finding committee. He did not at any time undertake to discontinue to jettison his search for justice as erroneously slanted by the Deputy Publicity Secretary. The Supreme Court is the peak of a single process that commenced few months ago at the High Court. As a law abiding citizen, Abubakar shall not by any means abort the legal process. We advise those who think otherwise to perish the thought.
