Election 2019: Many party chieftains betrayed PDP in Gombe - Gov Dankwambo

Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe has lamented that many Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains betrayed the party in the state during the just concluded 2019 general elections.

The governor made the revelation via his official Facebook page on Saturday, April 6.

He, however, vowed to remain in the PDP and described himself as 'a loyal party man.'

His words: “Many betrayed our great party in Gombe but time will tell. Their betrayal though painful has made me more dedicated to the PDP.

“As a loyal party man, even when it was the fashionable thing in the north to abandon the party in 2015, I never did. ‬We will be vindicated.”

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abiodun Olujimi, on Tuesday, April 2 said that the defeat of the PDP in Ekiti state in the last general elections was a temporary setback.

According to her, the internal wrangling among PDP members and manipulations by the ruling APC, accounted for the poor outing of the party in the state.

She, however, expressed optimism that the party would soon reclaim its leadership position as well as its dominance on the state’s political scene.
