The Kawu Baraje led PDP has paid a visit to the Senate where
they briefed the Senate leadership about their grouse with the Tukur-led
National Working Committee of the PDP.
Baraje said they decided to visit the Senate leaders because
of its strategic importance in the resolution of the PDP crisis.
He noted with concern that the democratic image of the PDP
started declining in recent years due to the lack of internal
democracy caused by the interference of the Presidency.
The New PDP chairman said the development had
affected the quality of the party and style of leadership
“that now takes pride in illegal dissolution of states’ party structures and
other acts of impunity.”
Apart from the initial demands of the governors, Baraje asked
the Senate leaders to ignore the calls on them to declare the seats of
Senators loyal to the New
PDP vacant.
Responding, the President of the Senate, David Mark,
assured the team that all the issues it raised would be
addressed dispassionately.
He said the Senate would not declare the seat of any
Senator vacant on account of the current crisis within the PDP.
