As a result of very many developments over the last couple of weeks or even months, after due consultations with the various constituencies that I represent, I left the party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, instead of the party leadership then, Mai Mala Buni, to convene a meeting to resolve the issue as a family matter within a few hours of the appeal court judgment, they rushed and granted certificate of recognition to the other faction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ran to the supreme court, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/25\/pdp-applauds-court-judgement-sacking-dogara\/\">judgment<\/a> of the supreme court upheld the judgment of the appeal court that the matter is a party issue and that the party should bring the two sides together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had several meetings with Mai Mala Buni leadership and both sides proposed the way forward. Unfortunately that was not implemented and it even worsened the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat was mostly reported on social media was not correct. The supreme court did not say they recognise the leadership and faction of Abdullahi Abass. That was not the judgment. The judgment was that the party should go and resolve the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the time the new leadership came, they were overwhelmed by the various arrangements of primary elections. There were attempts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI personally did quite a lot in getting the party to bring the two sides together and sit to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, the governor was always running around.
