Defect To Another Party And Lose Your Seats, PDP Warn Members by Nobody: 6:33am On Jun 02, 2016
The new leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is threatening fire and brimstone

– The Board of Trustees (BoT) which has taken over the leadership of the PDP has issued a warning to members of the party

– The BoT has warned that it won’t tolerate any defection of any kind

Following rumours of an impending defection by some of its members across the country, the PDP has issued a warning to those contemplating such move to be ready to lose their seats.

In a press statement released to the media yesterday, June 1, by the secretary of the BoT, Chief Ojo Madueke, the party also advised the public to disregard any group of people within the party claiming to be a faction of the party

Chief Ojo Madueke, secretary of PDP’s Board of Trustees
”It is important to clarify unequivocally, that there is no faction in PDP. There was only one approved national convention which took place in Port Harcourt on Saturday, May 21, which in accordance with PDP constitution, approved some far reaching resolutions that had the unanimous support of those who attended the Port Harcourt convention with subsequent endorsements of another PDP political meeting that took place in Abuja on the same day.

”The conveners of the Abuja meeting have since integrated their positions with the structures and resolutions of the Port Harcourt convention,” part of the statement read.


The statement also noted that the leadership of the party has met with all the key organs and caucus within the party namely; the PDP governors forum, the PDP leadership of the National Assembly, former PDP governors forum, former PDP minsters forum and other aggrieved members of the party adding that they have all decided to work together.

The statement read: ”PDP has never been stronger than it is now since its entry into the honourable role of a robust and principled opposition.

”Any suggestion of a faction, is at best ill-informed and ignorant, and at worst, is part of a grand plan to decimate the only political platform today, that is ready, experienced and able to honour the nation’s invitation to have a credible opposition party that will hold Government of the day accountable and thereby strengthen and nourish our young democracy.”

The party specifically warned legislators elected under the platform of the PDP they stand the risk of losing their seats in the legislature if they defect to other political parties.

”Our party will insist on a declaration of vacancy and subsequent elections in affected constituencies in the event of such misguided defections,” the party warned.

The National Secretariat of the PDP was re-opened on Tuesday, May 31 for resumption of political activities after a week since it has been under lock and key by the Nigerian Police.The secretariat was sealed-off on Sunday, May 22, by the Police to maintain law and order following the aftermath of the party’s National Convention in Port Harcourt on Saturday, May 21.

Boy: Dad our teacher gave us an assignment to research on a former political party called PDP.

Dad: My boy, PDP used to be the largest political party in Africa. The party was destroyed by our current president Ali Modu Sherriff. Now they are known as APC.

Yes, if the votes belong to the party, then the seat belongs to the party. Therefore, any one defecting must leave the seat for the party. Period!

The leadership should speak in conciliatory terms not threats. The fissure in the party should be mended not allowed to crack further with unguarded statements.
The BoT should set machinery in motion for the election of new national officers. They are the guardian angels of the party and should act as one.

Ojo Maduekwe's name has never left news reports, he is always in one position or the other. I wonder what a man like him can still offer the PDP.

How you read the constitution? Do you know what is written concerning this issue?

I am not any political party fan, but it tickles my fancy to hear someone calling strategy to stabilise unity in their party blackmail?
