THE national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Senator Bola Tinubu, to steer clear of PDP’s internal affairs and “focus on salvaging his fast crumbling political empire.”

“PDP is angry at the tendency of Tinubu to constantly comment on issues that are internal to the ruling party,” the party said.

Reacting to the criticism of the formation of the PDP Governors Forum (PDPGF) by the former Lagos State governor, the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, in a statement issued in Abuja, questioned the motive of Senator Tinubu in the alleged disparaging comments he made against the emergence of the PDPGF.

PDP observed that the ACN’s remarks went against the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of association.

It said: “Since the inception of the current democratic dispensation, governors have had several groups where they meet to aggregate their common interests. We have governors of the ACN always meeting.

“We also have groups like the Northern Governors Forum, SouthEast Governors Forum, South South Governors Forum and so on. What is the idea behind Tinubu’s attack on the PDPGF? It goes to show the absence of democratic tenets in him for him to attempt to prevent Nigerian citizens from associating with one another.”

The PDP also questioned the democratic credentials of Senator Tinubu, saying, “his dictatorial tendencies and his nepotistic disposition are responsible for the intractable crisis within the ACN.”

The ruling party added: “Senator Tinubu is the least qualified to question any meeting of like minds where decisions are taken based on sound debates and objective reasoning. He is used to ruling a small association on impulse where his word is law. He cannot, therefore, offer any useful advice on how a mega democratic association like the PDP should be organised.”

Yea its high time someone stopped this pot from calling kettle black!

israel007: Yea its high time someone stopped this pot from calling kettle black!

Another Lapdog

Thought some mvrtherfvckers said Jagaban ain't powerful now the PDP is shivering at his words. 'Mere words".

seanet01: Another Lapdog

U just defined yourself

PDP running scared Kai, previously it was only GEJ's mad dog inner circle of Maku, Okupe, Abati, Omokri et al 'infected' with jonathanism. Now, it seems the entire PDP has really taken on the identity of GEJ. The Party is now appearing distinctly scared, insecure, paranoid, jittery and suffering from siege mentality. Won se bere ni. O ti tan fun PDP pata pata. Eni ba gbon ni inu PDP a bere si ni ma di eru re.

Is this not the same Metuh who appealed to journalists to help kill bad stories that concern the party? Is Tinubu responsible for the raging crises in the PDP? Is he the reason why all PDP constituents are mired in mutually assured destructive wars, where the party is pathetically dissolving into interest factions for less dignifying reasons? We all know of Tinubu's dictatorial tendencies but as a politician, he is only cashing in on a tumultuous and divided PDP where there are more Judases than Disciples!

O ti tan fun PDP. Evolution cannot be denied and PDP Implosion cannot be denied. It is only a question of time.

I am not even a fan of Tinubu, but it is quite commendable that his words ruffle the feathers of PDP.

The last we heard, it was the PDP that had a failed reconciliation, with crisis in its NWC, NEC. Geopolitical blocs pitted against one another over a single-term gentlemanly pact/zoning policy, with members who have abandoned their mandates in pursuit of their 2015 ambitions. I can't remember reading of any intractable crisis in the ACN. Metuh should tell us another lie!

Hmmmm.... I see
The fear of jagaban is d begining of wisdom!!!

You are all thick as thieves. Bandits of zero repute.

Shouldn't Tinubu even mind his business as suggested ? There are crisis in our great party because that is where democracy is practised fully. People are allowed to air their views, disagree and then reach consensus unlike ACN, where Tinubu's words are law and nobody, not even the Governor of a state as vital as Lagos dares object to his views. Our strength as a party comes from series of disputes we have had that the oppositions don't. Is it not when you can manage a huge party as PDP for 14 yrs now that you can say you are ready to manage the greatest black democracy in the world _ Nigeria.

Last time i checked, PDP rules nigeria.and Tinubu is a nigerian. So he has the right to talk because Pdp decisions affect nigerians.

pDude: You are all thick as thieves. Bandits of zero repute.

yea they are all political gerrymanders, togarized under d sombrero of the caricature of democracy. Goons!

See pdp tellin som1 else dat dey rule on impulse. What decison has been based on objective reasoning since pdp came into power in this country. Non all pdps decisions r word by mouth. At least tinubu's word is law, pdp is lawless, divided and corrupt. So dey should just shhhhaaaaarrrrraaaaaapppppp der and take wateva criticism is thrown at dem because dey deserve it! !

Ds ppl are making Tinubu popular ,as if he amounts to anything. This is a man that has cornered the wealth of his ppl to create a personal empire. If democracy is d type dat Tinubu nd his cohorts propagate, then we are in trouble here.

PDP is scared of Tinubu.

The fear of Tinubu is the beginning of wisdom for PDP.

Lol

Tinubu sneezes and the whole of PDP catches cold!!!

Baba I hail you ooo... . .

Tinubu the Political Commando of the Greatest Nation in Sub-Saharan Africa...

Your words are like hot lead being fired from a machine gun...

Keep releasing the pellets, the members of the Killer-party need to be sent like dogs to the underworld where they belong...

pdp is on its way down

I don't know why this is making sense to me

So, Bamanga, Metuh and other petty thieves agree that Tinubu has become an authority on PDP affairs? Insincere_Monkey, over to you.

utumunta: Ds ppl are making Tinubu popular ,as if he amounts to anything. This is a man that has cornered the wealth of his ppl to create a personal empire. If democracy is d type dat Tinubu nd his cohorts propagate, then we are in trouble here.

say 'you' are in trouble not 'we'. PDP problem belong to you. Not 'we'. How can Jagaban sneeze be your problem.

tinubu stay on

this politician and their propagandan

Thieves accusing thieves.

This is the irony of things. You find it convenient to tell Tinubu to mind his own business yet we all know PDP's "internal" business always becomes the headache of the entire nation when things don't go well "internally".

Your Party is now using Boko Haram to slaughter Nigerians like chickens because of internal discontent in the "nest of killers" that has now grown into desperately evil terrorism. Is it only PDP members Boko Haram are killing or is it all Nigerians who are dying because of the "internal" rancor of the PDP?

Gbawe.:

see, PDP'd internal politics isnt Tinubu's problem. and why do you AC-HEN Lapdogs always attack whoever posts anything in favour of the PDP? what make syou different from them??
to the issue at hand, Olisa Metuh has said it all, Res Ipsa Loquitur, Tinubu shouldnt be concenred with whatever goes in WITHIN the PDP family. he has enough things to worry about with the way the APC Merger is going

The truth is that Tinubu should mind his own APC and stop blaming PDP for his failures. Since they started this APC rant till now they haven't even registered the APC all they do is blaming PDP.
