‘’We are fully persuaded that the situation can be nipped in the bud, given visionary treatment by the relevant institutions and processes of government.
‘’Having appraised all the variables and the historicity of BPP leadership succession, we are convinced that the solution to the lingering crises lies in the BPP itself,’’ the group said in a statement signed by its chairman, Comrade Friday Maduka

The statement noted that Alhaji Ahmed Abdu as director-general of the BPP, set an enviable record and blazed a progressive trail in BPP administration.
‘’We are particularly miffed given in respect of on-going investigation of indiscriminate issuance of certificates of no objection by the BPP, which set us thinking, given our principled stand against anti-democratic practices in the polity, effectuating in the existing democratic dispensation.
‘’Having meticulously appraised all the variables and given our vast endowments as a respected civil society organization, we have decided to decisively and firmly stake our position with integrity by being on the rosy side of history,’’ the statement affirmed.
The group added that there will be nothing lost and a lot to be gained if Alhaji Abdu, which they described as ‘’the Icon and totem of integrity’’ is reinstated as the DG of the BPP given his unequalled and unprecedented track record.
