Ahmed Gulak And Other PDP Members Float New Political Party Ahead of 2019 Elections

A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday floated a new political party in Abuja.

The faction is led by an aide to Ahmed Gulak, Mr. Perry Opara.

Gukak, who was a political adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan, recently declared himself as the national chairman of the party.

His move was however rejected by the national leadership of the party and its many caucuses.

The yet-to-be registered political party is known as Peoples Mega Party.

The new political platform was however believed to be packaged by fronts of aggrieved members of the PDP.

At the National Executive Council/National retreat held by the promoters of the yet-to- be registered party, its Acting National Chairman, Opara, told the delegates that the mission of the new political platform was to provide a very focused and patriotic body devoid of negative traits of impunity and confusion.

He said the decision to form the new party arose because of the crises that followed the resignation of the former National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu.

Opara flayed the national leadership of the party for its refusal to allow someone from the North-East replace Mu’azu immediately the former governor of Bauchi State resigned after the 2015 elections.
