Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said the forthcoming party congresses will resolve the lingering internal crises in the Katsina State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Fielding questions from journalists on Saturday in Katsina, Mr Abubakar said that he was in the state to condole with the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Kabir-Usman, over the death of his son, Abdullah Abdulmumini.

He said, “I also condoled with the family of former governor of the defunct Kaduna State, the late Alhaji Lawal Kaita, over the death of his widow, Hajiya Yelwa Lawal-Kaita.’’

Mr Atiku also visited former President Muhammadu Buhari at his Daura country home, after which, he condoled with the family of the late Sade, father to the Managing Director, NNPC Trading Limited, Lawal Dade.

He then visited the Emir of Daura, Umar Farouq and condoled with him over Sade’s demise.

On the internal crises that had divided the party, Mr Atiku said, “There will soon be congresses, so, people will elect whom they want to be their party leaders.”

Recall that a group called ‘PDP major stakeholders’ and the state caretaker committee were at loggerhead over the sales of congress forms.

While the group claimed that they were denied purchase of the forms, the state caretaker committee remained silent on the issue amid several efforts to hear from its side on the allegation.
