The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Birnin-Magaji local government in Zamfara state has called on Governor Dauda Lawal not to impose a caretaker committee chairman from Birnin-Magaji ward.
The PDP Chairman in the council, and the Financial Secretary, Sani Ibrahim-Alti made the call at a news conference in Gusau on Monday.
Muhammad said should the appointment of a caretaker committee chairman come from Birnin-Magaji Ward, the trend could cause disunity at the ward level.
“The position of caretaker committee chairman should be chosen from the remaining nine political wards beside Birnin-Magaji Ward.
“We want to ensure inclusiveness and avoid political marginalization. We want to promote unity, peace, and progress in our great party,” Muhammad said.
Ibrahim-Alti said that PDP leaders and stakeholders from the area would not be satisfied should a chairman be appointed from Birin-Magaji Ward.
According to Ibrahim-Alti, some politicians are making moves to impose a new Caretaker Committee Chairman for Birnin-Magaji local government.
“All political appointees by the governor and local government party leadership have just finished a meeting with the 10 PDP ward chairmen.
“Our position is that the council’s caretaker committee chairman should be given or chosen from the remaining nine political wards beside Birnin-Magaji ward.”
