PDP-why We Wont Congratulate Tambuwal by DaDoctor: 4:24pm On Jun 08, 2011
Funny enough sha,,,

lollll, Shame on PDP.



ABUJA – SHOCKED by the dumping of  its zoning formula and the emergence of  Aminu Waziri Tambuwal as Speaker at  the election of principal officers in the House of Representatives , yesterday, the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has  said that  it cannot congratulate the newly elected speaker.

According to the Party, it became imperative not to congratulate him because consultations were still on with leaders of the party,  National Assembly leaders and other stakeholders.

In a statement, Tuesday, by the National Secretary of the PDP, Abubakar Kawu Baraje, the Party noted that , consultation is on course and the party will soon come up with its position.

The statement read, ‘’the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) notes with great concern the unfolding developments in the House of Representatives especially the outcome of the election of principal officers on Monday, 6th June 2011.

‘’While the Party believes in, and indeed encourages the exercise of freedom of choice for all Nigerians including members of the National Assembly, it is important to reiterate that the principle of zoning is still an integral part of the PDP Constitution.

‘’The idea of zoning is a well thought-out philosophy for National stability and integration. It is the only guarantee that every segment of Nigeria enjoys a sense of belonging by being represented in all the decision making organs of the government of Nigeria.

‘’Consequently, prior to the election of Principal Officers that took place in the Senate and the House of Representatives on the 6th of June 2011, the NWC in collaboration with other decision making bodies of our Party made spirited efforts to build a consensus around the zoning formula. ‘’The NWC is currently consulting other organs of the Party to re-assess the entire scenario and will come up with an appropriate policy in due course.’’

Tambuwal, who hails from Sokoto State, North-West was massively elected as Speaker with 252 votes compared to 90 votes garnered by government and PDP-backed Mulikat Akande-Adeola, who hails from the South-West.

Meanwhile GEJ has congratulated Tambuwal on his facebook page. So, who is deceiving who?

I believe in the doctrine of Separation of Powers and I salute the Senate and the House for electing their leaders in a transparent process. I congratulate the Senate President, Senator David Alechenu Bonaventure Mark and the Speaker of the House, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal. Again, it is only by ensuring transparency in all governmental processes that we will first put in and then get the best out of Nigeria. GEJ
