Nyako, who said this on Tuesday, was
reacting to Monday’s suspension of the factional chairman of the party,
Alhaji Abubakar Baraje, the party’s National Secretary, Prince
Olagunsoye Oyinlola, and Senator Ibrahim Kazaure by the Alhaji Bamanga
Tukur-led PDP.
He explained that the PDP under Tukur’s
leadership shot itself in the leg by ignoring a legitimate court order
to reinstate Oyinlola and taking actions which had “killed and buried”
the peace process.
Nyako, who spoke through his Director of
Press and Public Affairs, Ahmad Sajo, said he had always known that
nothing good would come out of the discussions with a PDP where Tukur
remained the national chairman.
He said, “We always knew there was no
peace process. The peace process is dead and buried. The court had given
them a soft landing but instead of obeying the court order, look at the
step they have taken.
“It’s an ill wind that will blow nobody
any good. We know that they are not committed to peace; Bamanga Tukur
will lead this party to destruction.
“The President should think of the legacy he will leave behind and not allow himself to be led astray by people like Tukur.”
In a speech he delivered at a parley
with members of the Bishops and Emminent Clerics Forum of Nigeria,
Niger-Delta Chapter, in Yola, Nyako said he was no longer prepared to
work with the PDP.
Nyako said, “Let me quote one statement
in one of our Great Books, the Holy Bible; ‘Can two walk together except
they be agreed’ to do so?
“We in Adamawa State have resolved not
to ‘walk together’ with massive wrongdoers and cannot tolerate impunity
and lawlessness by the national leadership of any political party
located in Abuja, because that would be tantamount to inviting chaos and
anarchy to our beloved state.
“We cannot and shall not ‘walk together’
with the evil-few of Adamawa indigenes with their cohorts residing in
Abuja who wish us ill, calamity and destruction.
