Governor
Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State has urged stakeholders of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state to disregard the “new PDP”
led by Alhaji Kawu Baraje, whose faction recently emerged in the
North-western state.
Shema,
who made the call yesterday while addressing PDP’s stakeholders at a
zonal meeting held in the state, also said as far as Katsina is
concerned, the PDP is not divided but remains one united family under
the leadership of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur.
Speaking
through the PDP national auditor, Senator Umar Ibrahim Tsauri, Shema
said “we are not aware of any new PDP faction in Katsina State.”
He
added that “Any person that believes in the existence of new PDP in
Katsina should visit apsychiatric hospital for check-up and treatment
of mental disorder
.”
The
governor reaffirmed his support for the national leadership of the PDP
led by Tukur and urged the 34local government chairmen in the state to
disregard Baraje’s group.
A chapter of the Baraje-led faction of the PDP emerged in Katsina last week with Alhaji Bala Saulawa as its chairman.
