ABUJA — NATIONAL Leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP yesterday asked the
embattled governor of Nasarawa State, Tanko Al-
Makura and the All Progressives Congress, APC to
leave the Presidency and PDP out of the present
political crisis he was facing with members of the
State House of Assembly.
According to PDP, the impeachment move against
Governor Al-Makura remains a local issue in the
state and that the provisions of the laws and
constitution of the nation were very clear on such
processes.
In a statement, yesterday, by its National Publicity
Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party said the
governor and APC should contend with what he
termed, their self-inflicted woes, adding that the
governor should look inwards and find answers to
his challenges as the chief executive of his state.
Urging Al-Makura and the APC to stop promoting
trite excuses of external influences, sponsoring of
protests, threatening and unleashing thugs against
the state legislators as these will not solve the
problem, the PDP reistated that it has no hands in
the political development in the state.
Metuh said: “Nigerians may recall that at the wake
of the impeachment move in Narasawa State, we
came out clearly to restate our non-involvement in
the saga and went ahead to charge our lawmakers
across the country to ensure that their actions are
strictly guided by the provisions of the law.
“We have also severally challenged the governor
and the APC to provide evidence of the alleged
involvement of the Presidency or the PDP in the
crisis.
“However, we are shocked that instead of focusing
on finding answers for his problems which must
be connected with the bad governance that has
characterised APC-led administrations in the
country, the Nasarawa State governor has declared
war on the lawmakers, while unleashing APC thugs
to attack them and stop them from carrying out
their constitutional duties.
“We are taken aback by the series of unfounded
allegations, insults, blackmails and threats
sponsored against the Presidency and the PDP, all
in the bid to subvert constitutional provisions,
undermine democratic institutions and ultimately
establish a reign of impunity in the state as
obtainable in other APC states.
“Our advice to the APC and Nasarawa State
governor is that in as much as neither the PDP nor
the Presidency is involved in the impeachment
saga, resorting to baseless allegations, cheap
blackmails, threats and violence against the state
legislature, the PDP and the Presidency will not
help them.
“We restate our position that in a democracy, the
rule of law and the will of the people expressed
through the provisions of the law remain
paramount and must be adhered to at all times.
“Governor Al-Makura and the APC must
understand that the issue at stake is not a matter
of political sentiments and threats, neither is it a
matter of sponsoring protests and media
propaganda, but that of democracy, accountability
and the provisions of the laws and the
constitution.”
Charging the governor and the APC to humble
themselves and look inwards for answers, the PDP
warned: “Otherwise they will end up like a man
contesting ward nomination but spent his time
advertising on BBC without directly engaging the
ward delegates. How can such a man ever win the
nomination?”
