Speaking during an expanded caucus meeting at the PDP state headquarters, Danmarke dismissed the ADC as a gathering of “frustrated politicians seeking power for personal enrichment,” asserting that their formation poses no threat to the PDP’s dominance.
Defections a Blessing in Disguise
Danmarke stated that the exit of some party members in Katsina has strengthened the PDP, fostering greater peace and unity. “We are happy that those working against the progress of the party are no longer with us. We trusted them, but they betrayed us,” he said.

He emphasized that the meeting provided a crucial platform to address internal issues and strategize for future victories.
The gathering, attended by hundreds of loyal supporters, reinforced the party’s resolve to reclaim its position as the leading political force in Katsina and beyond.
