Ibrahim Little and P.D.P

The media recently carried the news that Alhaji Ibrahim Amin Little has decamped to People Democratic Party (P.D.P).The news came as a great shock to many of us who are supporters and admirers of Ibrahim Little.In the year 2003 and even before it, Alhaji Ibrahim Little happens to be not only a ANPP state Chairman in Kano but also the gubernatorial candidate of the party before some circumstances shove him aside and Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau replaced him and won the election as Kano state Governor. Though Alhaji Ibrahim Little decamped to P.R.P and contested as the party gubernatorial candidate .The news about his decampment to P.D.P is very disturbing and uncalled for as it clearly portrays him as a floating politician, an opportunist and seem to lack proper knowledge of what party politics is all about. His decampment to P.R.P then could be excused as out of anger, frustration and disappointment as what happens that led to his loosing out in power play .What justifications and reasons does Alhaji Ibrahim Little has to join P.D.P whose antecedents for the more than five years in power had been continuous introducing policies that day after day increases sufferings and hardships to the Nigerian people. The party whose trademark had been cycles of incensement in petroleum products, insecurity as never before in our history, corruption that led to awards of international medals ,we can go on listing them. And also the P.D.P in Kano which had not known peace within itself and divided into sects led by different strange bed fellows.Alhaji Ibrahim Little ,you had disappointed your supporters and admirers by joining the P.D.P. Also this act if you are not cautious will led you to early political graveyard. If the penniless could outsmart you in power play and frustrate you out of ANPP,how can you contend with political giants in Kano P.D.P such as Alhaji Abubakar Rimi, Hon. Ghali Na’abba, Alhaji Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, Alhaji Aminu Wali and Alhaji Musa Gwadabe? How can you outsmart Alhaji Aminu Dabo, Hon. Ghali Na’abba, Senator Bello Hayatu Gwarzo, Dr. Yakubu DanHassan (when he returns to P.D.P) e.t.c in P.D.P gubernatorial primary if you still have the intention to contest for governorship under P.D.P in 2007? Which of the P.D.P sects will you squat with? Alhaji Ibrahim Little, return to the first house you help to build and stop drifting further into political wilderness. Be on the positive side of history, politics is more than seeking platforms to contest for elective offices or to campaign for a presidential candidate who deep down in your heart you knows is unpopular in Kano and is unsaleable to any right minded person that hopes well for Nigeria and its people.
