The
Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) welcomes the PDP split of August 31, 2013 and
the emergence of Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led PDP as a necessary and inevitable
result of repressive rule of the PDP.
Recent
events, first with the orchestrated crisis in the Nigeria Governors Forum
(NGF), suspension and expulsion of PDP leaders, including serving governors
without fair hearing and complete demonstration of lack of tolerance and
respect for different opinions are signposts of crisis that should unavoidably
result in the split of any organisation.
The
PGF commends the courage and resilience of the Baraje-led PDP and in particular
congratulates all the serving PDP governors for standing up to be counted among
patriotic political leaders of Nigeria. It must no doubt be a conscious
decision that must have been borne out of commitment to make all the sacrifices
needed to rescue our dear nation from the current reign of terror and bad
governance.
As
serving governors too, we are ready to support, work with our colleagues in
partnership and solidarity with the goal of facilitating accelerated human
development by embracing policies and programs to improve quality of life of
all Nigerian citizens, eradicate poverty and create jobs in the country. We are
under no illusion that our reality as a nation today calls for both intra and
inter party networking.
We
are therefore ready to transform our relationship with all serving governors
irrespective of our partisan differences in order to move our dear country,
Nigeria, forward.
Nigeria has outlived
all dictatorships in the past and will definitely outlive any present or
latent, manifest or potential dictatorship. Congratulations!
Signed:
Progressive Governors Forum
