DEPUTY Chairman, elders’ forum of Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Chief Abu Shuluwa, has stated that the elders of the party would soon rescue PDP from 'gangsters'.

 Shuluwa, who was a member of Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission under Obasanjo regime when reacting to the parallel convention of PDP held in Abuja and Port Harcourt yesterday, said that all the decision taken at Port Harcourt convention was a kangaroo one which he described as null and void.

 He noted that the decision of the Abuja convention was sacrosanct if the party should regain its lost glory, adding that the caretaker committee instituted by Port Harcourt convention was illegal, null and void, “the party's Board of Trustee is the highest organ of the party that can re organise and harmonise the differences and chart a new course for our party and this is what we have done at Abuja convention.

 "PDP has zoning arrangement, which must be adhere to strictly, there is no way a section of the country can produce chairmanship and the presidential candidate of the party, for Modu Sheriff, we all know his antecedents, particularly, when he was the governor of Borno State on the platform of the defunct ANPP against the PDP members then and you want that same person to lead our great party, it is not possible.

 As elders and stakeholders of PDP, we will not allow those gangsters who have looted money to continue to dictate the pace for us, they have the money but we have the people and power lies in the people," Shuluwa said.

 Shuluwa expressed optimism that the party would bounce back to regain its lost glory with the wisdom and understanding of the founding fathers whom he said were still bend to restore sanity and discipline in the party.
