The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has set up a disciplinary committee to investigate the behavior of Prince Haliru Mahmoud Dantsoho, its youth leader, citing his outburst regarding Dr. Bukola Saraki, a former Senate President.
In a social media video that went viral, Dantsoho demanded accountability for the money allocated to the state’s 2023 presidential campaign.
He said, “We are not fighting the leader, Saraki. But we want accountability and independence of the party.
“And the fundamental question is we want to know how much was received for the 2023 presidential election, who received the money and how it was spent, that is all.”
Dantsoho came under a series of attacks from party leaders in the state over the outburst.
Responding, the party, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Tunji Morounfoye, decried the youth leader’s unguarded outburst.
He said Dantsoho’s action brought the state’s working committee of the PDP and the party members to complete disrepute.
He said, “The SWC has set up a disciplinary committee that would look into the youth leader’s actions and report back to the party within seven days.
“Party members will be notified of the outcome of the disciplinary committee’s findings and appropriate recommendations.”
