LG polls: Plateau PDP to punish culprits of anti-party activities

“The PDP has already directed its chairmanship and councillorship candidates to write reports on how and why they won or lost; the reports will help the party to determine who did what,’’ the party’s chairman, Dr Haruna Dabin, said in Jos.
Dabin told newsmen yesterday that the measure became necessary to instil party discipline that was “very crucial to cohesion and future electoral success.’’ He said most of those that challenged the party’s candidates were PDP members who moved to other parties when they could not get the PDP ticket, adding that such was inimical to party solidarity and unity.
“What we want to do is to get to the root of our performance in some few local governments, especially in the councillorship elections. We specifically want to know why we should get overwhelming victories in the chairmanship polls and get something different in the councillorship polls; we want to know who aided and abetted what, and address that,’’ he said.(NAN)
