PDP disowns Jalo on call for Jonathan
to speak up President Goodluck Jonathan Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Acting National Chairman Prince Uche Secondus has denied that
the party asked former President Goodluck
Jonathan to open up on the $2.1 billion arms
scandal. About 12 prominent PDP chieftains, including a
former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki,
are standing trial for their role in the sharing of
the money meant for arms procurement under
the Jonathan administration. The party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary,
Abdullahi Jalo, had at a press briefing on
Monday, called on Jonathan to respond to the
claims by Dasuki that the money was shared on
the directives of the former President. But speaking at the party’s constitution
amendment forum in Abuja yesterday,
Secondus said Jalo spoke for himself and that
his views did not represent the position of the
PDP leadership. “Let me make it clear to you that Jalo was only
expressing his personal opinion because his
views did not represent the position of the
party. “There was no time we discussed at the National
Executive Committee (NEC) that Jonathan should
speak on the arms deal scandal. There was no
time such a thing came up at the NEC. So, Jalo
must be expressing his personal opinion,” the
party acting chairman said. He decried the continued detention of the
party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa
Metuh and other party chieftains by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC). The party chair called on the EFCC to release
Metuh immediately, saying his continued was
against the rule of law and a breach of his
fundamental human right. He also denied reports of his removal as the
party’s Acting National Chairman, saying the PDP
constitution recognised his present position in
the absence of a substantive chair.

Good

Confusion everywhere!

Confused party

So in essence, PDP is against Jonathan clearing his name??

So much for reforming a party.

Why won't they deny their own member. They are as confused as Van Gaal.

Where in heaven's name is our own waltz disney? all these fantastic scripts needs to be mined.

[size=18pt]Will PDP always challenge anything reasonable. Why are these guys configured like this?


What is wrong in the dunce coming to clear his name if he truly has nothing to do with the massive and aggressive loot (which I highly doubt in innocence and ignorance)


Seriously Nigeria should consider outright execution of corrupt government officials and retrieving they monies and properties.



Shameless old men.



I'm Seriously and impatiently waiting for when they will start with David Mark. [/size]

Truth is bitter, they have to disowned him cos if Uncle Jona should talk a lot of people will go down ⬇ with him. The fear of Jona talking is the beginning of....

I think PDP is not serious about rebranding and if that is the case they should forget about coming back to power in the foreseeable future. It may be that the Jalo guy is the only sensible one in PDP right now, the rest are bunch of confused fellows.
