Gov. Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe State, has urged national leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to sacrifice their personal interest in order for peace to reign in the party.
Dankwambo who spoke on Friday in Abuja at the PDP North-East Zonal Caucus meeting, said that this was the best time to sacrifice personal interest in order for the party to move forward.
“In the past, so many things have remained issues of great concern.
“Now is the time to make sacrifice for all of us on old or new things that come our ways as a duty to the party.
“Everybody is weeping and crying at the same time.
“If anybody expects any other person to call him to his wing, we may not get to our destination, because the wing may not be too strong.
“It is the wing of sacrifice that is strong enough to take us to the right destination,” Dankwambo said.
The governor, however, urged PDP leaders from the North-East Zone to be careful in reaching a decision on national offices of the party zoned to the zone.
“We must avoid decisions that will further divide our members or bring more problems to our party.
“We should respect the views of our stakeholders and take decisions that will unite us,” Dankwambo said.
Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba, in his remarks, expressed the North-East Zone interest in the office of the National Secretary of the party.
This, according to him, is one of the ways to easily resolved the party’s crisis.
Ishaku also expressed optimism that the leadership crisis rocking the party would soon be resolved.
