REVEALED: Aliyu Unveils Plan To Destablise Niger

 

 
Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu alleged yesterday that there were plans by the Presidency to use money to induce people to cause problems in his state due to his role in the protracted crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He also threatened that the state will not hesitate to deal with such individuals that receive financial inducement from Abuja with the sole purpose of throwing the state into confusion.
The governor spoke yesterday at the launch of 55 Toyota Hiace buses for the state Subsidy Re-Investment and Empowerment Programme, NISURE-P, in Minna, the state capital.
Aliyu accused some undisclosed members of the party in the state, who he described as “disgruntled elements” of taking advantage of the protracted crisis rocking the party to fraternise with Abuja to collect money.
The governor, however, said they had failed because his administration enjoys the support of the state PDP. He said the people are behind the struggle by the G7 governors to reform the ruling party.
“We know that in many struggle or any negotiation, particularly, if it gets protracted, other interest may come in. We are aware that some disgruntled elements in Niger state are rushing to Abuja to collect money, please, encourage them to go and get their share because we know that the majority of Nigerlites are behind this struggle to reform our party.
“Those who are thinking that they want to cause confusion in Niger State because they have collected some money from Abuja, we are waiting for them, because we will deal with them democratically and security wise,” Aliyu warned
He pointed out the need to adhere to democratic rules by the party leadership and not turn issues concerning it into personal ones, adding that any one in the position of leadership is there because God wills it.
“All we (G7) said is let our party be democratic. Nobody should come and turn into a dictator; nobody should turn the party into a personal thing. All we said about election 2015 will come and it will come to pass.”
“If it goes well for the PDP, it goes well for Nigeria, and if PDP is democratic, Nigeria will be democratic. No section of the country should be isolated or intimidated and no leader of any section of the country should feel intimidated.”
