A group known as Kebbi South Forum has threatened to disrupt the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primaries slated for December 8, 2014, in Kebbi state. 
 
The threat was contained in a letter dated December 2, 2014, signed by Haliru Umar and Bala Manga, general and organising secretaries respectively, a copy obtained by the Leadership on Thursday.

The group in the letter said it would execute its threat if the party fails to adhere to the zoning of elective offices as contained in chapter 1 section 7 (c) of its constitution.

The letter was reportedly addressed to the PDP national chairman, Ahmed Adamu Muazu, alongside other stakeholders of the party comprising Kebbi State governor, Saidu Usman Dakingari; PDP BoT chairman, Chief Tony Anenih; a former interim national chairman of the party, Dr. Halliru Mohammed; state party chairman; and chairman of Kebbi Elders Forum, Justice Usman Muhammed Argungu.


The group further explained that it wished to draw the attention of both the party and the stakeholders to its previous correspondences on the matter without response few days to the primaries.

Meanwhile, the said past correspondences alluded to the group gave chronological account of democratic governance in the state since 1999 in respect of its three senatorial zones.
However, Kebbi Central zone has produced the state governor from 1999 to 2007.
It would be recalled that the main opposition party All Progressive Congress has conducted its primary election nationwide to elect the party’s governorship candidates in the 2015 election.

However, four people were reportedly killed on Tuesday following the outcome of the APC House of Assembly primary held at Apena area of Mainland Constituency 1 of Lagos Mainland Local Government.
Meanwhile, the ruling PDP has reportedly lost another chieftain and a former minister under President Goodluck Jonathan to the APC in Edod state.
