…Commences reconciliation of aggrieved members in South-South
The party South South Zonal Chairman, Chief Emmanuel Ogidi who spoke to a group of journalists in Asaba yesterday,
disclosed that the party had commenced reconciliation of its aggrieved members within the South-South region, adding the PDP as a party will not allow 2019 elections manipulated.
Noting that the current crisis in party which created two factions, were challenges emanated from violation of the party’s constitution, Chief Ogidi explained that it was unfortunate that Alimodu Sheriff went through litigation; suggesting that he may not have had the party at heart.
His words: “if he loves the party and follows the party’s constitution, he would not be doing what he is doing at present, when people reject him, he refused to go, the process that brought him into office was faulty, but we are asking that all of us must berated Dr. Cairo Ojougbo whom he said lost out in the South South Vice Chairmanship race, only to be appointed as member of the National Working Committee (NWC).
He said that South-South region had remained the stronghold of the party event through the All Progressive Congress (APC) tried to take over it as its supporters have allegedly did everything to destabilize the zone, but PDP members refused to give in to their threats, adding: “look at Edo State, for instance, APC members are afraid because, once the tribunal sits, we are going to take over the state, there were so many irregularities in Edo Election, and it is very said that President Goodluck Jonathan made the INEC to be independent but now INEC is no longer so, the umpire appears to have compromised”.
While assuring that the crisis rocking the party will come to an end before 2019, Chief Ogidi said that people are yawning to dump APC for PDP, especially in the North where it claimed larger populations, adding: “How much is kerosene now?, How much is gas?,
That Nigerians are not talking does not mean that they are comfortable with the situation” On judiciary, the PDP South-South leader explained that Judiciary as an institution cannot be an appending, rather it has continue to show transparency for implicit confidence from Nigeria people, disclosing that Ondo State election case for instance, proved in clear transparency of the judiciary as the Judge refused to be compromised Chief Ogidi noted that most times, Nigeria people asked for a change without knowing what they want, saying that when the change came, few years later, they have resumed songs for a bring insisting back corruption, that President Buhari cannot fight corruption with the use of EFCC, ASC and others.
“You cannot play politics with security issued, remember that so many things were used against President Jonathan, but you can see that what the people are using for security were procured by President Jonathan” he added.
Emphasizing that INEC had been the manipulating tool for the recent elections, the PDP Chieftain said: “we have been begging aggrieved members of our party to come back because we are brothers, every PDP member is supporting the marketing led caretaker committee, and we have also observed that INEC in the recent times play compromising role, that we will resist in 2019”. Meanwhile, reactions have started trailing the redeployment of a “controversial”.
Federal High Court Judge, Justice Okon Abang from the Federal High Court Abuja to the Asaba Division in Delta State. Describing Justice Abang as a stooge of the ruling party APC, Delta State People’s Democratic Party Alliances for Good Governance (DSPAGG) in a statement signed by its chairman, Fredrick Ikechukwu, a copy made available to our reporter, stated that Delta State, is a PDP state with people who never had problem with Federal establishment in the state, adding “It is our genuine fear that should the posting of Justice Okon Abang stay” strange things will begin to happen in the area of judicial dispensation”.
DSPAGG, the statement further said viewed the redeployment of Justice Abang from the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court as part of the deliberate plans of the APC to wrestle power from the PDP in Delta in 2019 elections.
The statement noted the jubilation that greeted the posting of Justice Abang to Delta State by APC supporters and the faction of PDP led by Alimodu Sheriff as clear pointer to the expected patronage to the Federal High Court Judge who is allegedly known for giving judgment against the PDP.
