The Abubakar Baraje faction of the
Peoples Democratic Party has said that it may seek legal redress for the
sealing-off of its secretariat in Abuja.
The Secretary of the faction, Prince
Olagunsoye Oyinlola, disclosed this in an interview with one of our
correspondents in Osogbo on Sunday.
The police had on Saturday sealed off
the secretariat of the New PDP at Plot 4, Oyi River Crescent, Maitama, Abuja.
Explaining the action the faction
would take, Oyinlola, said the party was exploring internal mechanisms to
resolve the crisis which had polarised the PDP.
He, however, stated that the new PDP
would be left with no option than to seek legal means of enforcing its right if
the efforts failed.
He said, “We are exploring all means
to resolve the matter; I mean internal mechanism of resolving the crisis but we
will be left with no option than to seek a legal means to address it if all
these efforts fail.”
Oyinlola had described the sealing
off of the new secretariat as an undisguised impunity on the part of Alhaji
Bamaga Tukur, who he claimed, had earlier dished out an imaginary court
injunction to the media.
Also, the faction’s Deputy National
Chairman, Dr. Sam Jaja, said that members of the New PDP would soon meet
to discuss the way forward, especially as it concerned the sealing-off of
its national secretariat.
The PDP chief, who spoke in a
telephone interview, said, “There is nothing I can tell you now. We are
going to meet very soon and a decision would be taken very soon.
“We have spoke through our Secretary,
Olagunsoye Oyinlola and what he said about the sealing off of our national
secretariat is the position of the New PDP.”
