Anxiety is looming in Adamawa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party as two party chieftains, Buba Marwa and Dr. Umar Ardo, are engaged in a war of words over the issue of waiver in their bid to succeed impeached Governor Murtala Nyako.
Dr. Umar Ardo has earlier flayed Marwas ambition on the platform of the party when the latter indicated interest to join the race for the Dougirei Government House, Yola, calling him a deserter and a prodigal son who fled the party when there was trouble only to come back and indicate interest under its platform after the dust had settled.
Ardo said Marwa can only contest for any elective office on the platform of the party if he spent one year in the party or if he was given waiver, adding that unfortunately for Marwa he does not fulfill any of the two conditions.
But while repudiating Ardos position, Marwa said the issue of waiver had since been taken care of at the partys headquarters due to the fact that the PDP was trying to open its doors to all and sundry with a view to get a credible candidate that will fly its flag in the up -coming election in the state.
Marwa said Ardo was ignorant of the issue of waiver and was just a governorship aspirant, hence he should have find out from the executives of the party before making unfounded statements.
Marwa made these comments in Mubi while addressing delegates drawn from various wards in the five local government areas that constitute the Northern Senatorial District.
