Sources among the NWC members said
some of the members disagreed on the reason for the action, saying that it
could be termed to mean that the party was taking sides in the NGF election.
A PDP NWC source said, “We felt that
it was wrong for the party to take that action now, when we all knew that the
party did not support his emergence as the chairman of the NGF.
“Apart from that, we also felt that
the reason for the suspension, which is because of the dissolution of a local
government, is under the control of the State House of Assembly.
“Even though we know that governors
have influence on the activities of the state houses of assembly, we should
also pretend that there is the separation of powers as enshrined in the
Constitution of the Federal Republic.
“We should not be seen to be
encouraging other arms of government to force their opinion on the other.
“But unfortunately, such genuine
arguments did not prevail at the meeting and those with might had their way.”
Metuh however tried to defend most of
the matters raised by the NWC member, who spoke with our correspondent on
condition of anonymity.
He said, “We know that there is the
separation of powers and we concede that, but on this particular issue, a
lawful organ of the party, that is a state chapter of the party, issued
directive to a member of the party who is a governor and who is supposed to be
the leader of the party, the constitution expects the governor to obey a lawful
constitutional organ of the party and at least make presentation or listen to
what we are saying.”
Asked if this was the first time a
local government would be dissolved in the country in any of the states being
controlled by the PDP, Metuh said this would be the first time such an action
would happen since the present NWC came into office.
He said he was not concerned about
what would have happened in the past before the assumption of office of the NWC
members.
Metuh also denied that the result of the just
concluded NGF had anything to do with the suspension

ReplyDeletePeople destroy people (PDP), this is just the begining of your down fall. The party (PDP) will soon crumble like a packk of card cus its not built on a solid foundation. PDP as a party has ruin nigeria, they're ritualists. Satan is their master and that is why they're wicked. ACN is another political party that is anti-people in nature, they have nothing to offer nigerians. There failure to tackle corruption, unemployment and insecurity has rendered them useless.
