The Yobe state branch of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has denied all claims that its members were defecting to the ADC coalition party.

In a statement signed by the state party Chairman, Senator Umar El-Gash, he described the claims as ‘false, unfounded, and a desperate attempt by political adversaries to create confusion.

El-Gash assured the party members and supporters that its structure remains intact, from the ward to the state level.

The statement partly read; “The PDP in Yobe State is stronger today than it has been in recent times.

“The insinuation that our members are aligning with any coalition is false, unfounded, and a desperate attempt by political adversaries to create confusion and disunity in our ranks.”

The chairman emphasized that no official of the PDP in the state has joined any coalition or alliance, he noted that the party is ever loyal to its national leadership and constitution.

He added; “We are proud to state that the PDP in Yobe is stronger today than it has been in recent times. Following the exit of certain individuals whose actions consistently undermined the collective progress of the party, the atmosphere within the party has greatly improved.

“We are focused on unity, reconciliation, and a renewed drive toward reclaiming our rightful place as the preferred choice of the people.

“The PDP remains the only visible platform for good governance, people-centred development, and credible opposition in Yobe State.

“We will not be distracted by orchestrated propaganda or intimidation. Rather, we are more determined than ever to lead the movement for a better Yobe, built on equity, justice, and development.”

The party reaffirmed its resolve to strengthen its base and promote a message of hope and democratic progress across the state as its supporters and all Yobe citizens/residents were assured of a
