Fresh Crisis Hits PDP As Party Suspends Ifeanyi Ubah, Buruji Kashamu

Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, may be heading towards another round of crisis as party suspended its governorship aspirant in Anambra, Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah.

Also, cut in that web is the senator representing Ogun East Senatorial district, Buruji Kashamu and the duo expected to face the party’s disciplinary committee which is to be announced by the National Working committee of the party.

Ubah’s sin was his decision to file a suit against the outcome of the governorship primaries that produced Oseloka Obaze as the party’s candidate for the Anambra election slated for November 18.

In his word on Tuesday, “I will be approaching the court to determine the legality or otherwise of the PDP primary in the state”, Ubah told newsmen.

“The election is fraudulent and it is illegal. However, we will allow the court to determine whether the party has the right to trample on its own constitution and the Electoral Act.

“The list of delegates used for the election was different from the list of delegates given to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

“The commission supervised delegates’ election and the party submitted the names of the delegates. But my party manufactured new names and lists a day to the primary.

”The election was a show of shame as it was marred by obvious irregularities, leaving little to be desired and more questions than answers from the relevant authorities and party officials.”

Recall that PDP Chairman, Ahmed Makarfi, recently warned members against going to court for the resolution of grievances.

He vowed that the party will sanction such persons, stressing that members must learn to take advantage of the internal mechanisms within the party in settling disputes.

“The party will take a very hard stand on any party member who is in a hurry to go to court without exhausting all the avenues available in the party for grievances to be heard and to be addressed accordingly,” he said.

“PDP is one family. At this stage it is not one side versus the other side; the only side that we’ll say is against us is anybody that may be taking us to court. Then, we will know you are against PDP.
