PDP State Chairmen Disown Suit Seeking To Stop Convention
State Chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party have dissociated themselves from a court action instituted to stop the party’s forthcoming national convention slated for November in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The state chairmen reiterated their commitment to the unity and progress of the PDP.
Speaking to journalists on behalf of the PDP Chairmen Forum in Abuja, the forum’s chairman and Edo State PDP chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, criticised the conduct of Austine Nwachukwu (Imo) and Amah Abraham Nnana (Abia).
Aziegbemi announced their suspension from the forum and called on the Umar Damagum-led National Working Committee to take disciplinary action against any NWC member found to be directly or indirectly connected to the court case.
He stated, “We distance ourselves completely from the suit and the plan to use it to stop the PDP from holding its National Convention. This is not right.
“We want to state clearly that we are solidly behind the Damagum-led NWC, and we will give our full support to ensure a hitch-free convention.
The evil plot of the APC to turn Nigeria into a one-party state will never succeed.
“We hope other organs of the party will draw inspiration from our decision. We must all stand firm and make the right choices.”
