The much talked about Kogi West PDP Senate ticket has witnessed different moves varying from various camps.
The new desperation and latest moves by Hon Sunday Karimi, who have indicated at every opportunity to truncate the victory of PDP if not given the ticket come 2019, has taking a new betraying dimension.
Hon Sunday Karimi, member representing Yagba federal constituency have currently set all machinery in motion to move to his new found loved party, African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Firstly, Mr Karimi have secured the Senate form on the platform of African Democratic Congress, (ADC), while still in PDP fighting and promoting crisis over party ticket.
The latest meeting he had with his group was to move out of the PDP after he must have ensured that aspirants exhaust their resources at the primaries, create damages for the party, then he will move to declare his Senate ambition under the already arranged platform, ADC.
Secondly, to show the public that he’s on his way out of PDP, Hon Karimi currently took back the vehicle he gave to Hon Eric Fiki, one of the PDP leaders from Yagba federal constituency who was before today working for Karimi even as DG.
The action to withdraw his car was simply because Hon Eric Fiki agreed as a party man, to abide by the decision of National leadership of PDP to honour MOU signed with members of (r-Apc) by granting them automatic ticket.
It is a known fact that PDP as a responsible party entered into (MOU) with some major group within APC camp which led to the historic defection of some forces from the ranks of Apc of which Sen Dino Melaye, Kogi West, is one of the leading Senators in this regard who joined the progressives in PDP for the purpose of bringing victory for the party.
I do not know it is an offence in Karimi’s political diary for a party to sign an agreement with some political group, honour it and fulfill same.
Thirdly, let me briefly remind the good people of Kogi West how the same Hon Karimi worked against PDP in the 2015 Governorship election in Kogi State.
Without minding the consequence on the party, Karimi worked against former Governor Idris Wada and Arc Yomi Awoniyi’s candidature of PDP in the last Kogi gubernatorial election.
The betrayal was known by all within the ranks and file of PDP in Kogi State.
This was the same man who flouted and betrayed the party when PDP directed all its house members to vote Hon Yakubu Dogara during the speakership election of house of Reps.
Karimi as usual, betrayed PDP and voted Hon Gbajabiamila. PDP as a party is very calculative in its moves and today, as we can see, Hon Dogara whom Karimi refused to vote for in line with party decision has returned back to PDP.
Karimi has never been an observer and respecter of party decision. He’s a known party betrayal with no signals of change at sight.
How can a man who have serially denied, oppose and worked against his party be trusted for such an important seat which requires competence, trust and integrity?
I continue to wonder, if a man who wants the party ticket at all cost can descend so dishonourably low to take back a car he already dashed out to one of the party leaders from his Constituency, just because he agrees with the party’s National leadership decision to honour the agreement it entered into with returnees and decampees?
This is unbecoming of a man, whose party have always stood by, and on his part, have serially and consistently denied and betrayed same.
Finally, since Karimi have secretly pitched his tent with ADC with the new purchase of Senate form to fly with the party, I advise him to stop parading himself as an aspirant under PDP, as this further shows how untrusted & unreliable he can be.
I wish him whatever he wished himself, but he should honourably stop promoting sentiments, crisis and desist from his archaic political style to blackmail, malign and attacks on the good of people Kogi west particularly Yagba leaders who understandingly respect the party’s position on Senator Dino Melaye.
Hon Karimi’s ADC tickets is already known to the people, so his underlining planned surprise for PDP to move out is busted.
Sen Dino Melaye is not the cause of Karimi’s political misfortune, he is understandingly a beneficiary of a progressively sealed agreement entered into by the very competent leadership of the our great party, PDP.
