THE ongoing negotiation between the All Progressive Congress (APC), the Presidency and aggrieved members of the party who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), popularly known as new PDP (nPDP) has hit brick wall.

Talks between the trio has been suspended with the nPDP alleging that the actions of the presidency alongside that of the party has shown the duo was not ready for reconciliation.

The nPDP said the persecution of Senate President, Bukola Saraki, the withdrawal of his security details, and the decision of the APC to go ahead with the ratification of all the congresses from wards, local governments, states and zones where many of its members had complaints were clear signs that both presidency and the party are opposed to its want of reunion.

The scheduled session of all the parties in Abuja on Monday was aborted as a result of the protest.

The aggrieved nPDP in a statement by its chairman, Alh. Abubakar Kawu Baraje, noted that it might not be available for further talks unless good faith returns to the discussions.

“The public may recall that there have been ongoing talks between members of the former nPDP, the APC and the Presidency in recent days.

“Nigerians may further recall that a team from the former nPDP led by Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara and four others, were to meet with the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo today.

“However, while we are truly and earnestly committed to achieving reconciliation, harmony, truce and cohesion in the APC as we approach the 2019 general elections, it appears that the Presidency is not interested in the talks and that they may have been negotiating in bad faith.

“We were alarmed that immediately after our meeting with the Vice President last week, the Presidency misrepresented what transpired at the meeting by trying to blackmail some of the principal actors involved in the discussions in a national daily.

“Similarly, the leadership of the party (APC) went ahead to ratify all the Congresses from ward, local governments, states and zonal where many of our members have complaints, effectively presenting us with a fait accompli.

“The persecution of our members, using state security apparatus, have continued unabated.

“We recognise the powers of the Police to conduct criminal investigations but by rushing to the public with the issue even when they have unfettered access to the leadership of the National Assembly suggests an attempt to undermine, caricature and humiliate the institution of the legislature.

“It appears that there is a fouled and toxic atmosphere and environment of intimidation and threat to life in which we now find ourselves which may no longer be conducive for members of the former nPDP to continue with the talks, given the unfolding events in the last 24 hours”.

It faulted Saraki’s and Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed’s implication in the Offa robbery attack

It said Saraki and Ahmed , both of whom attended the meeting with the Vice President on 28 May, “have suddenly been accused of sponsoring armed robbery by the Police”.

“Similarly, on Saturday, June 2nd, 2018, the Department of State of Services (DSS) also suddenly withdrew more than half of all the security detail attached to the presiding officers of the National Assembly under questionable circumstances.

“The nPDP leadership has decided to brief our members on the unfortunate development and get a fresh mandate if good faith returns to the discussions.”
