The Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Yahaya Sumi on Wednesday said that nothing will make him to leave the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The PDP dragnet in an exclusive interview with our correspondent at his livestock farming in Doka, Bauchi Local government area of the State, explained that no matter how the situation portends, he will remains in PDP.

The PDP Chieftain recalled that in the history of Nigerian democracy, no any political party that developed the country like the People’s Democratic Party.

Sumi in 2011 contested the seat of the Bogoro constituency in the Bauchi State House of Assembly, said “Due, I did not make the primary election. Rather than leaving the party as most of the contestants did.

“I remained resolute and patient waiting for God’s time. I believe now is the time for me to be considered having gained more experience in governance and leadership.

He said that “My not winning election in 2011 should not make me leave PDP”, further said “I was in PDP, am in PDP and I remain in PDP”.

Adding that more exposure in life and having what it takes to take Bogoro to a greater height.

Sumi stated categorically that he will remain in the same party, because PDP has became a culture to the good people of Bogoro Local Government Area of Bauchi state.

According to him, “Nothing will make me to leave PDP, because since the inception of this nascent democracy, no any political party that has ever won our Bogoro state assembly seat since the inception of democracy in Nigeria”

Sumi therefore puts it explicitly that he will not and never leave PDP, because the party has contributed immensely for the development of Bogoro, Bauchi state and Nigeria at large.

Sumi however declared interest to contest for the seat of the State House of Assembly to represent Bogoro constituency.
