Why back those who want to destroy us, Najib asks ‘Umno 3.0’ leaders

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak has slammed a reported move to oust Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, asking why there are leaders who would support PPBM, which wants to destroy their party.

There has been widespread speculation of plans to get rid of Zahid and replace him with a new leadership dubbed “Umno 3.0”. The plans also reportedly include removing Najib, Zahid’s predecessor, from the picture by August.

Earlier today, sources told FMT that Umno 3.0 would work with PPBM and PAS, with calls for Zahid to step down as president expected to get louder in the coming days.

In a Facebook post, Najib said that working with PPBM would be going directly against the wishes of the grassroots, with 143 of 190 divisions having already decided that Umno should break its ties with the Muhyiddin Yassin-led party.

He warned Umno 3.0 leaders that going against the voice of the grassroots would see them being punished badly in the party polls.
