Former Terengganu PAS commissioner Abdul Wahid Endut has told former menteri besar Ahmad Said not to be too hasty in his move to seek the overthrow of Menteri Besar Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman.

"For us, if he (Ahmad Razif) is removed now or if a no-confidence motion is tabled, he will fall. Maybe we can win if we have Ahmad Said with us.
"But the elections may be next year, we have only a few months till then. What can we (PAS) do if (polls) is called in the next one year or several months to come?
"Even if we win in the coming weeks, we will not have the opportunity to make any meaningful changes, what with the state wanting for cash, with debts aplenty. Terengganu is in bad shape," Abdul Wahid said when met in Kuala Terengganu.
The Wakaf Mempelam assemblyperson said in the early days after his resignation as MB, PAS had met with Ahmad Said.
Indeed, Abdul Wahid revealed that the Islamic party had met with the Kijal assemblyperson recently.
However, he said he cannot disclose the subject of discussion during the meeting with Ahmad Said.
Furthermore, Abdul Wahid said that any decision that Ahmad Said may take depends solely on the former MB, even though he had expressed his intentions to 'help' PAS.
"In my view if we win now, we know that he (Ahmad Razif) has problems. Problems with the sultan, problems with his own people. He really has a lot of problems.
"But whatever the case, it all depends on Ahmad Said," said Abdul Wahid who has been an elected representative in Terengganu for the last 26 years.
After attempting to table a motion of no-confidence against Ahmad Razif in March, Ahmad Said recently has threatened to leave Umno for PAS, if the present MB remains.
According to a Star Online report, this was said to be Ahmad Said's ultimatum to Ahmad Razif for him to step down as MB.
Ahmad Said's statement was said to have been a response to Ahmad Razif blaming the former MB for the present political crisis in Terengganu.
