Members of the “new PDP” in the House
of Representatives have begun a
systematic retreat from the party
following the defection of five of the G-7
governors to the opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Governors Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers,
Murtala Nyako of Adamawa, Rabiu
Kwankwanso of Kano, Ahmed Abdulfatah
of Kwara had on Tuesday dumped the
PDP and announced their merger with the
APC.
But in a surprise move, members of the
House of Representatives from these
states, who overwhelmingly pledged
allegiance to their governors when they
moved to form the nPDP as a faction of
the party, have now made a move seen to
be for the protection of their interests.
The lawmakers of the nPDP and
mainstream PDP yesterday met as a
caucus in a closed-door meeting presided
over by the deputy speaker, Hon. Emeka
Ihedioha, and leader of the House, Hon.
Mulikat Akande-Adeola, where they
decided that it was time to take steps to
protect their stakes and in the overall
interest of the country rather than follow
the commands of their governors.
After discussions, they resolved that the
way forward for them would be to meet
with President Goodluck Jonathan next
week to discuss on how exactly they could
work out the crisis in the party without
anybody being hounded.
“We discussed as one party. There was
nothing like new PDP and old PDP. The
main thing we discussed was how to
dissociate ourselves from the crisis within
the party and the defection by some
governors to the APC,” a lawmaker who
craved anonymity stated.
When asked what has changed since the
last time when they supported their
governors’ decision by signing up for the
nPDP, he said: “We know what we want
for ourselves. Some of us are not really
into the crisis but we had to show loyalty
to our governors.”
Another major issue that was raised at the
meeting was the need to change the point
man between the presidency and
members of the House. They said he was
not reliable in his dealings on their behalf.
It was thereafter that they resolved that
the House, led by the speaker Hon. Aminu
Waziri Tambuwal, meet President
Jonathan to have a dialogue with him on
their demands.
“Part of our demands is to know
specifically what is in it for us, if we decide
to give full support to our great party,”
the lawmaker added.

Act two scene one

Hahahaha am laughing at those waiting for impeachment when the governors were disobeying the leadership of the party some kids were urging them on. Now is the turn of lawmakers to disobey their governors. Waiting for their usual childish and naive political analysis.

SB Joji: Act two scene one

We shall know by Tuesday...... See fear for PDP circle !

No member of the national assembly loyal to ameachi will join this reconcilation. Because their problem is not with the national PDP. It's with the state PDP which wike has taken over. If they don't stick with ameachi and destroy the PDP in rivers state, post 2015, they'll have no political future.

Twas predicted by smart political analysts. Self preservation than blind followership has set in

Do you expect all the Reps to follow their respective Governors into political wilderness? In the same manner, the G5 shall become G4 shortly - watch this space

Am enjoying this game. Wat goes around comes around.

Symphony007: No member of the national assembly loyal to ameachi will join this reconcilation. Because their problem is not with the national PDP. It's with the state PDP which wike has taken over.

Please tell them. Rivers State is very peculiar in this merger. Wike has PDP in his hand and there is no way Sen. Abe and Rep. Dakuku will remain in that party. Already Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly who is a political son to Sen. Abe has openly endorse the Governor's defection. For those of you. Who don't know, all Rivers State 26 lawmakers and NASS members including 22 LGAs chairmen held a meeting with the state existing APC leaders to elect an interim chairman, who happens to be a one time commissioner of special duties during Odili's tenure and has been in CAN since Amaechi took over Government.

The caucus meeting of the PDP members is coming too late, they would have done this before now, instead of allowing the likes of Gulak and co to misrepresent them. They even admitted that their leaders at Aso Rock were selfish, if you read that paper.

Meanwhile, I have seen several national media given a figures of NPDP members as 13. That's false, is 10, bacause Rep, Chikere, Chinda and Betty are not with Amaechi.

U dont expect all the lawmakers to be lost with d lost governors.
I have always maintained that when d chips are down we will know what and how.
PDP will always be d party to beat.
