A former National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmadu Ali has debunked claims that the party had a military wing which membership comprises of top Generals.
Speaking today at the book presentation of Lt. Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi’s “Vindication of a General”, Ali said having served for three years as PDP’s Chairman, contrary to what people are saying the party had no military wing.
“I am not aware of any military wing in PDP”, he said.
Former military president General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida had last week while receiving report of the Senator Ahmed Makarfi committee on "strategy and inter party Affairs " led by professor Jerry Gana at his uphill residence, Minna Niger state, said, “We are the military wing of PDP, we took a lot of interest in the PDP".
The former military president who likened the party at the formative stage to Irish Republican Army (IRA) said members of the wing took a special interest in the affairs of the PDP.
"I termed us IRA military wing of PDP; I thank God we came up with the concept that PDP should rule for 60 years", he noted.
