Yola — Senator Jibrin Aminu (PDP-Adamawa) has cautioned that the PDP could lose mass support if it failed to address the complaints of aggrieved members over  Tuesday’s nationwide ward delegates election.

Speaking to newsmen in Yola, Aminu, who criticised the election in Adamawa, said if the party failed to attend to petitions, it stood the risk of protest votes against the party in the forthcoming general elections.

“Nigerians have choices, there are many parties with credible people; there is no reason why people will come to us if we did not behave ourselves,” Aminu said.

The Senator lamented that in spite of the people’s hope for a credible election next year, what obtained at Tuesday’s delegates election in some states, particularly in Adamawa, was unfortunate.

“Credible election does not start on the polling day; anybody who thinks that credible election starts on the polling day does not really understand the process. The pre-primary stages are very important,” he said.

The Senator, who is aspiring to retain his seat in Adamawa Central Zone, described the ward election in the state as unacceptable, accusing the party leadership and the PDP-led state government of hijacking the exercise.

“Adamawa is a politically-advanced state. I don’t think our people can be hoodwinked by anybody. We can’t be suppressed or made zombies by anybody,” Aminu said.

The ward delegates’ election of the PDP in Adamawa drew mixed reactions from party chieftains and aspirants.
