PDP Staff Reply Party Leaders: Face Your Corruption Not APC by phemmyutd(m): 10:43am On Aug 02, 2015 |
The PDP Staff Welfare Association has described
as an absolute bunkum, a clumsy, and
blundering blackmail, an allegation by the
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa
Metuh that staff members were being sponsored
by the APC to destabilize the PDP.
They thus vowed that such a weak shot from a
mortally crippled arsenal of witch hunt is
incapable of breaking the resolve of the staff to
expose the thieving in the NWC and restore the
core vision of the party.
We are not surprised that the allegation will
become the most fashionable means of covering
tracks.
A statement Saturday by the Chairman of the
Association, Ngozi Nze and Secretary, Dan Ochu-
Baiye said the allegation is a wide window into
the impressionable character of the man who has
been in saddle as the party’s image-maker and
an ominous signpost into the shallow manner the
publicity of the party has been run.
"We wish to state that this is a man whose
conduct, demeanor and media outings have been
a repulse to professionalism and a source of
embarrassment to party members.
"We therefore place on record that the majority of
the establishment staff of the PDP are not just
unrepentant members of the party who have
spent over sixteen years in service; who have
assimilated the PDP ethos as way of political life
but are also the repository of the party's memory
whose spirit can hardly succumb to the
ephemerality of power loss.
"Who plays anti-party you may ask? Staff
members who are genuinely resisting the morally
repugnant and obsessively corrupt NWC so that
the PDP will survive or the likes of Olisa Metuh
who has a track record of anti-party given his
open endorsement of APGA candidate in 2013
Anambra governorship election, the subsequent
denigration of PDP candidate and his chances on
live television program less than 24hours after
the election, even as result was being awaited?
"Earlier in January 2010 Anambra governorship
election, Metuh as National Vice Chairman, South
East abandoned Chukwuma Soludo , the PDP
candidate while openly galvanizing support for
Hope Democratic Party candidate, his friend and
benefactor. The PDP did not only woefully lose in
Otolo Nnewi Ward 1 of the Party’s zonal vice
Chairman but came a distant third in his polling
booth! What a faithful party officer!
"Again, we have incontrovertible evidence that the
man who is PDP Publicity Secretary worked
assiduously against the presidential candidate of
the PDP, former President Goodluck Jonathan in
the last election in order to requite the ex-
President for rejecting him as Director of Publicity
of the Presidential Campaign which was given to
Femi Kayode, a development which came after
Metuh had squandered a whooping sum of 450
million naira media fund earlier given to him by
President Jonathan.
"Last week’s controversial congresses in
Anambra is another signpost to the destructive
trajectory which the likes of Olisa Metuh is driving
the PDP to. The chairman of the congress, Ike
Abonyi, no doubt a veteran journalist is at present
in Olisa Metuh’s employ as his media adviser.
Another member of the committee, Collet
Odenigbo is Metuh’s friend and adjutant on
special assignments while the man returned as
State Organizing Secretary, Sam Ben is Metuh’s
personal assistant. The process was so
personalized to the chagrin of party members ,
especially leaders who were also illegally
compelled to part with certain amount of money.
As we write, the party is still waiting for the result
of the congresses a week after it was held,
pending when Metuh is done with his conclave of
distortion and extortion.
"This is the same man who we reliably gathered,
is surreptitiously scheming to emerge as the
Organizing Secretary of the party next year. To do
what? Turn the party organization into Onitsha
Main Market and institutionalize exaction, graft
and impunity .
"This is a man who started in 1999 as a zonal
youth leader, then National Ex-officio, Acting
National Auditor, Zonal Vice Chairman and now
publicity secretary. It is either his umbilical cord
was buried at Wadata Plaza or that he can’t
survive on any other thing except the PDP.
"We make bold to add that the worst form of anti-
party is the mindless plunder of party resources
by the NWC which Olisa Metuh is integral part of,
in fact the leader of the body’s extortion gang.
Recall that the same man was the Chairman of
Kogi State congresses which held last week and
match it with the fact that the widely rumoured
request for One billion Naira from the State
governor emanated the same week.
"Indeed labeling the staff of the PDP could be a
veiled attempt to justify the huge sum of 70
million naira which Metuh collected in July in the
name of fighting the APC in the media.
"We wish to therefore advise him and the NWC to
respond to gritty issues raised in our press
briefing without which the fortunes of the party
will continue to dwindle." |
