He said:
“This is very dangerous for the party in the state and Nigeria. The party has bright chances in the state and by extension in the country come 2023 but the party needs to put its house in order before the general election.
“The essence of 2023 is for a fair contest and for parties to win power. If our party does not check its excesses, Nigerians are watching and will decide. If we (PDP) miss this chance, it will be difficult to grab power again.”
He, therefore, called on the former Senate President Bukola Saraki-led reconciliation committee to visit the state so as to avert the impending implosion of the party ahead of the next general election.
The three factions
Sani lists the three factions within the Kaduna PDP to include the Restoration Group led by the former Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Dogara Mato; those loyal to Senator Ahmed Makarfi and that of Former vice president Namadi Sambo.
