The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a very strong warning to some ambitious aides and associates of President Goodluck Jonathan trying to use their closeness to him to cause crisis in the party and pave way for more defection to other parties.
The PDP said it would expose such individuals and make them face the full weight of the party disciplinary measures if they fail to immediately retrace their steps. The NWC in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh said it is “aware of the clandestine activities of such aides and associates of the President including their unholy alliance with some elements in other parties to undermine and weaken the PDP by attacking its leadership. *Olisa Metuh “The NWC is aware that these same individuals who mismanaged the presidential campaigns are now desperately seeking to cause crisis in the PDP with a view not only to divert attention from their misdeeds but also to ensure that they remained politically relevant by hijacking the party structure for their selfish purposes.

“We are aware that these individuals have been trying to arm-twist the President to summon a meeting of party leaders at the Presidential Villa in the coming days where the NWC members would be put under pressure to resign thereby triggering a crisis in the leadership at the national level. “The party is aware that the same group has been sponsoring series of amorphous bodies and negative publications in a section of the media to peddle false allegations against the NWC to back their heinous and unconstitutional demands that the President should sack the NWC before the handover date of May 29, 2015.
“However, for the purposes of clarity, especially for those making uninformed demands on the President, the PDP National Working Committee is duly elected and its tenure ends in March 2016 in line with the provisions of the party’s constitution. The PDP is a party built on the rule of law and democratic ethos. Its NWC is elected and not appointed and as such cannot be sacked at will or by an executive fiat. Besides, no section of the party constitution prescribes that the NWC should quit if the party loses in a general election. “Furthermore, the PDP constitution is clear on the process of summoning a meeting of party leaders and the role of the NWC in that regard is well-defined. Anything outside the laid down rules and the provisions of the constitution in this respect is completely of no effect.

“Moreover, President Goodluck Jonathan has amply demonstrated his strict adherence to the rule of law and the tenets of democracy even on issues of party administration and should not in anyway be hassled by these selfish and greedy elements to destroy his legacies. “Consequently, the leadership of the PDP by this statement makes it very clear and in an unambiguous terms too that it will no longer condone such divisive actions by the same unscrupulous individuals who in their selfishness ruined the fortunes of our great party in the general elections.

“The NWC will no longer tolerate actions that tend to undermine discipline and the supremacy of the party and its constitution, as it will henceforth not hesitate to apply full disciplinary measures for infractions “Our advice to these ambitious aides and associates of the President is to leave party matters and concentrate on the Presidential transition and smooth handover of power to the incoming administration as well as preparing for post handover issues that might arise regarding the administration in which they served”, the party stated. On the issue of the performance of the party in the general elections and allegations of mismanagement of Presidential campaign funds, the NWC said it has no case to answer, as Nigerians already know the truth regarding those who managed the campaigns including the funds.

“Nigerians are not at loss as to the fact that the PDP NWC did not manage the campaign and its fund. Those who managed the campaigns have already submitted their reports to the President who in his wisdom gave them the mandate and they have been applauded for a job well done at that level”, the statement said. The NWC said it appreciates the support and backing of key stakeholders especially the PDP Governors’ Forum, the body of national vice chairmen and state chairmen as well as governors, legislators-elect and all well meaning members in the all important effort to rebuild the party and reposition it to regain power in 2019. Recall there are calls for the NWC led by the party chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu to resign or be force out of office.

for Metuh to issue this kind of press release, there's indeed fire on the mountain. In all honesty, Metuh is a useless publicity Secretary........... He contributed to the quick demise of Jonathan with his tribalistic and anti-islamic press release, he never made sense except once.

I'm in support of Jonathan's aides who are interested in dissolving NWC of the party legally.

Muazu & Co should go!

Gambari pa Fulani.
ko kon mi.

bakila:
PDP lost the day they started issuing party ticket from aso rock. They cannot continue to behave in the same manner for 16 years and not be changed.

PDP has to learn the hard way the consequences of lack of internal democracy.
From the presidential to gubernatorial primaries, a few individuals hijacked d process n shut out other loyal party men, leaving hordes of aggrieved candidates in their wake.

In particular, the govs who are now crying louder than the bereaved created crises in their states because of their ambition to not only impose their successors, but also retire to the senate.
In fact, Muazu should expel any idiot who misbehaves, especially Akpabio and Orji. Shikena.

Is this the party that will form a strong opposition? less than 2months after election they can't get their a$$es together.

JONATHAN don wise no more mumu mumu

When ever dem wan exchange blows for thier meetings make dem halla me abeg,I will love to watch.
Click like if you will love to see PDP fighting,click share if not.

It will take more than four years before PDP get themselve

Why are PDP chieftains complaining that the Game Changer is the only Chairman that lost?
Was he not made the chairman because he is the Game Changer?
PDP used to WIN, then he CHANGE THE GAME and they LOST.

PDP FUJI house of commotion. Just watch as PDP go enter ghost mode by next election. They would become as irrelevant as AD

Ehe

Now that s their problem

That clueless party should just implode already.

I cant laugh o

pdp must get lost kn nigeria by God grace

The bunch of corrupt swine are liking their wounds after suffering heavy defeat during the just concluded election! !!

Things falling apart already! It reminds of a certain thread "How Buhari's Emergence Killed PDP"

Instead of Mr. Hurting Protection to busy himself with profering solutions to his party's problems, he prefers poking his already bloodied nose into affairs of APC he had long abandoned.

What a hypocrite he is!

.

Why is Muazu and the current NWC still making noise. Come May 29, the funding of the PDP will solely depend on Delta, Bayelsa, Akwaibom and Rivers states. Please people get the message now, Muazu, the current NWC have all expired. You guys can freely defect to APC. PDP believers do not expect power in the next 8 years, we are going to build a new party and grow from there. The party is now anchored in SS/SE/SW and Muazu brings zero value to the party as it stands today.

There will be no PDP in 2023. They will have to marge with another party and rebrand.
PDP as they are have no structure on ground to win any presidential election; not with the current configuration.
I wish PDP Goodluck.

.......UP APC

Is this the party we hope to make strong opposition to the excesses of APC, its really unfortunate

Opposition is a difficult position. You have to battle with constructive remarks that are devoid of emotions and grapple with a lean budget. The PDP NWC ain't used to both hence this incipient crisis. I see pdp dying completely...... May be changing name and logo would help. *ahahahahahahah*

ok PDP should put their house in order
