the Kaduna state PDP caretaker committee and it's bastion for peace, transparency and equity.


September,2,2020



in X raying the issue's that have dominated the social media space, I wish to start from the point of, what was the final prayer of the concerned elders committee to the NWC? that they should avail the state of a final list, which shall indisputably be accepted by them.. now, did the party oblige the CTC of such list.yes, is the answer.

how ever, in it's attempt, to ensure that everything possible is done,to peacefully rest the matter, it was agreed, that area's of contentions in the ward list,be re- visited, by the national vice chairman, north west zone and the CTC.

on Monday, 23rd, August, 2020, a meeting can convoked at the PDP state H/ QUARTER'S,with view to taking on the issue's, as so directed by the NWC.what,was the resolution of that meeting, the CTC, should resolve the matter by engaging all critical stakeholder's of the various wards,so affected, to authenticate the veracity of the out come of the Congresses report relayed in the list given to the CTC.

the CTC, did set up a sub committee, with the mandate, of advising it on the way forward on handling, the issue of the disputed list of executive's.the committee had,the following as member's,

1. DR John ayuba,

2. ALH Ahmed Abdu ( bebejin Zazzau),

3, HON Mariya Dogo

4, HON ALH Ashiru Abdullahi kurmin Bomo.

the sub committee, recommended that all Ward's that fall under contention, even, if OT is just a single position, out of the list of executive's, should be recused, from the local government Congresses.

the wisdom, behind the decision of the committee, is that, to give EVERY one, the maximum opportunity, possible, to make it's case for their respective claim immediately after the Congresses, in view of the NWC directive that the Congresses for L/ government's and state, should take place on the 26th and 28th instant of August, 2020.

further more, the subcommittee drew the attention of the CTC, to the PDP constitution of article, 18, sub section 6, which state's, that for a local government Congress to be valid, no less than at least, 1/3 RD of the delegate's, from a minimum of 2/3 RD, of the total number of Ward's in the local government, must partake in the Congresses.

this thus spewed up, the exclusion of 13 Ward's out of the 238, Ward's, that would have otherwise, given the exception of the 17 Ward's, whose Congresses were annulled by the Congresses appeal committee and thus had no elected delegate's to present in the local government Congresses.

the excluded Ward's in total in view of the 238, who had no issue's as transmuted by the appeal's committee, thus represent 5.5 % of the approved elected delegate's statewide and indeed on local government basis, as it relate to the 19 , that were fully cleared, in each instance, were less than even 1/4, talk less, of the 2/3 ward constitutional provision. the CTC, considered and approved the recommendation as presented to it. further more, it went ahead, to.

seek the approval of the NWC, of the PDP, before it effectually acted on the report. it is pertinent to state, that, the subcommittee CTC report, was adopted by all the, 10 member's of the CTC, that were present on the day, the report was considered.

so, we put it to the skeptic's, in which way, has the CTC failed to be fair, transparent and equitable to all in discharging it's mandate ? well, the truth, must be told, there are some people who are afraid of the lid been thrown off the bottom of their shenanigans, as they are not comfortable with the devil in the detail's approach taken by the CTC.

there is no dispute to the fact, that all action's of the CTC, from the meeting with the zonal chairman north west, up to receiving briefing from member's of the Congresses electoral committee, sent by the national, thenceforth, the micro zoning of Responsibility's, to cover the Congresses had the full participation of all member's of the CTC, without exception.

I therefore throw the challenge to elder BULUS JAMES and his ilk, to point out where, we had failed to either act as a team or failed to eschew transparency, equity and fairness in any singular action of ours as CTC Kaduna state PDP.

those member's who claimed to have been sidelined at any point of the process or act's of the CTC, where surely acting within the cocoon of their sponsor's, which is indeed contrary to the PLEFGE we all made from day one, that, we shall place the interest of PDP Kaduna state, above personal nay interest of our individual principal's, in the discharge of our assignment, at every foci.

the Kaduna state CTC, has not plunged itself in to any murky waters as been portrayed by those whose interest lack foundation in the Tenet's of democracy and we shall continue to remain resolute in our commitment to see that we are just and above board in the discharge of the task given to us, posterity shall bear us out.
