"A young man dies, and his friends build a masjid for him (as sadaqah). A young woman dies, and her friends dig a well for her. A third dies and his friends put up water tanks for him, and another dies and one of her friends will give in charity for months on her behalf. And yet another will wake up in the depth of night, asking Allah to forgive her friend who has passed away. These are the fruits of having righteous companions! Be aware of your friends, for a person is on the religion of his friend.

The Monday Discourse
With the double setback suffered by the leadership of the
New Peoples Democratic Party last week, its options may
have been limited significantly, writes Chuks Okocha
If you understood the way cookies crumble, it was
exactly what happened to the splinter or breakaway
members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
otherwise referred to as the New PDP (nPDP). This is
because on two fronts: politically and legally, the
breakaway faction of the PDP consisting of the former
vice president, Atiku Abubakar, former acting national
chairman of the party, Abubakar Baraje and seven
governors, suffered a major setback that may have
altered significantly, whatever calculations that they are
banking on with respect to the PDP.
The governors are Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Babangida
Aliyu (Niger), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Aliyu Wamako
(Sokoto), Muritala Nyako (Adamawa), Rabiu Kwankwaso
(Kano) and Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers). But in view
of the blow dealt them, many are wondering the way
forward or could it be the end of the road for the nPDP.
By the way, the nPDP was formed on August 31, 2013, in
the aftermath of the crisis in the ruling party when during
its special national convention in Abuja, Atiku, the seven
governors and others walked out of the convention to
announce the birth of the faction.
But last Thursday saw the fate of the nPDP assuming a
rather uncertain slide from all sides. Indeed, it was not
the best of times for the members of the ‘rebel group’,
which had begun to make serious impact in the polity as
well as undermine the authority of the mainstream PDP.
But that day, they were dealt severe blow both from the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and
the Judiciary as represented by the Lagos State High
Court.
Interestingly, the setback in both instances could be
described as self-inflicted because, it was the nPDP that
took its case to INEC and as well as the Lagos High
Court, Ikeja.
Starting from the political front, the INEC had rejected
and refused to recognise the New PDP, led by Baraje. On
the legal front, a Lagos High Court struck out a suit
brought by the New PDP against Tukur and three others,
for want of jurisdiction. The letter, signed by INEC’s
acting Secretary, U.F Usman, was a response to an
earlier correspondence from the New PDP in which it
sought recognition for Baraje as PDP national chairman,
among others.
INEC’s Position on PDP crisis:
INEC, in its response to an earlier letter by the faction’s
national secretary, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, dated October
2, a copy of which was obtained by THISDAY yesterday,
affirmed its recognition of Tukur as the authentic leader
of the PDP’s National Working Committee (NWC).
According to the INEC letter with the title “Notification of
change in the leadership of PDP and request for formal
recognition,” it stated: “The commission acknowledges
the receipt of your letter dated September 1 and 23,
2013, respectively wherein you requested the
commission’s recognition of the Abubakar Baraje faction
of the newly elected National Working Committee.
“You will recall the commission monitored the national
convention and the special national convention of the
PDP held on March 12, 2012 and August 31, 2013
respectively which took place at the Eagle Square Abuja,
after notices to the commission. A National Working
Committee was elected at the two conventions wherein
Alhaji Bamanga Tukur emerged as the national
chairman,” adding that: “The commission will not
withdraw its recognition of the leadership of the PDP
elected at the election duly monitored by the
commission.”
By INEC refusing to withdraw recognition to the Tukur-led
PDP, it has actually put paid to the issue of faction, thus
legitimizing the Tukur NWC. Whether this is the end of
the road for the nPDP is another thing altogether. But
INEC as the regulatory body for political parties has
issued the nPDP a red card and have been sent out of
the political field of play.
And the Court Decision
From the legal front and in response to a legal suit filed
by the nPDP in Lagos, Justice Oludotun Adefope-Okojie of
the Ikeja High Court, struck out the suit filed by the
Baraje PDP faction against Tukur and three others, for
want of jurisdiction.
The breakaway faction of the party had asked the court
to stop Tukur and other officers of the party from
parading themselves as national officers of the PDP
pending the determination of the case. The plaintiffs in
the suit are Baraje, new PDP Deputy National Chairman,
Dr. Sam Sam Jaja, Oyinlola and the PDP, while the
defendants joined alongside Tukur are the Deputy
National Chairman, Mr. Uche Secondus; Women Leader,
Dr. Kema Chikwe and National Publicity Secretary, Mr.
Olisa Metuh.
Tukur and his co-defendants had in their preliminary
notice of objection filed through their counsel, Chief Joe
Kyari-Gadzama (SAN) and Mr. Emeka Etiaba, on
September 18, asked the court to strike out the suit for
want of jurisdiction. The lawyers had also argued that
the writs of summons did not comply with the mandatory
requirements of Section 97 of the Sheriff and Civil
Process Act because they were not signed.
But counsel to the claimants, Mr. Robert Emukpaeruo,
had argued that the court had jurisdiction to entertain
the suit contrary to the objections being raised by the
defendants.
In his ruling, Adefope-Okojie held that the Lagos State
High Court had no power to assume jurisdiction over a
matter which originated outside its territory. The judge
said the applicants had averred in their affidavit that the
course of action, which was the special convention of the
PDP took place in Abuja.
According to the judge, the plaintiff had also averred that
the PDP had its registered office in Abuja and that none
of the defendants was resident in Lagos State. In view of
this, the Judge said the doctrine of enforcement of
judgments was not relevant to the suit before the court.
Adefope-Okojie summed her ruling thus: "I hold that with
the defendants not resident in Lagos and the subject
matter originating in Abuja, the High Court of Lagos
State has no power to assume jurisdiction over this suit."
As a result of this, a red card may have though been
given to the nPDP by the court, unlike INEC position;
there could be an appeal or a fresh case filed within the
Abuja where all the combatants reside.
New PDP Carries on Unperturbed
Whilst it seemed like the cookies had crumbled for the
Baraje group, the nPDP does not appear rattled as it
promised to re-file the case in Abuja since it was struck
out only on technical ground as the court did not
consider the merit or otherwise of the suit. In a
statement by its spokesman, Mr. Eze Chukwuemeka Eze,
the nPDP assured its members that there was no cause
for alarm.
“We wish to assure our teeming members and Nigerians
in general that there is no cause to worry. This is
because the ruling has nothing to do with the merit of
the case but the place of filing. As advised by His
Lordship, we shall hasten to re-file the suit, this time in
Abuja, as we are convinced about the merit of our case.
Our determination to sack the usurper, Alhaji Tukur, and
rescue our great party from his misrule has never been
stronger.
“Finally, we urge all our supporters and members not to
despair or exercise any atom of fear and should continue
to support the leadership of our great party under the
leadership of Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje as we are
getting closer to freeing our party from the enclave of
undemocratic elements currently holding us to ransom
and doing everything within their powers to ruin all that
our founding fathers struggled to build.
“With the court ruling, we are now very determined to
restore PDP to the path of honour particularly now that
we have lost our great first National Chairman, Dr.
Solomon Lar, to the cold hands of death. Let us reiterate
that nothing, and we repeat nothing, will stop us from
implementing the visions of both Dr. Solomon Lar and all
the founding fathers of our great party to the letter and
keeping all undemocratic elements at bar from
leadership of our great party.”
Mainstream PDP’s Olive Branch
As if anticipating the double tragedy that befell its
estranged members, the mainstream faction of the party
had last week moved towards defusing tension in its fold
as it resolved not to escalate the crisis in the party by
engaging its splinter group and its seven governors in
further verbal war.
The party’s National Working Committee (NWC), after a
meeting in Abuja, said it would no longer respond to
comments from the breakaway group in order not to
endanger the ongoing reconciliation being carried out by
President Goodluck Jonathan and other party leaders. It
was also learnt that the president had reiterated the
need to maintain peace to facilitate the healing process
embarked upon by party leaders at the last meeting
between the two sides.
Lending credence to this, Metuh said the position of INEC
has laid to rest, all contentions regarding the leadership
of the party.
“The position of INEC in affirming the leadership of the
PDP under the National Chairmanship of Alhaji Bamanga
Tukur, and rejecting the demand for recognition by our
aggrieved brothers has indeed laid to rest all
contentions regarding the authentic leadership of our
great party.
“However, we wish to state categorically that this is not
a time for us to gloat or preen ourselves over victory. We
must use this window of opportunity to engender true
reconciliation, put all the issues behind us and move
ahead as one big united family that we are.
“In this light, we call on all our aggrieved brothers to
relegate all personal interests and return to the fold so
that we can ward off all external aggressions and forge a
common formidable political front. We wish to assure our
supporters that the PDP as the only true national party is
large enough to accommodate all interests and persons
as we remain loyal to the provisions of our constitution
as a party.
“We must at this time close ranks and rally around
President Goodluck Jonathan and our leaders at all levels
so that collectively, we will ensure that our great party
delivers on its mandate and promises as enshrined in the
PDP manifesto; the ideals of our founding fathers and the
Transformation Agenda of the PDP-led government for
the overall good of our people.
“The challenges of the last few months, rather than
detract, have proven that the PDP remains the pre-
eminent party that will continue to win elections at all
levels in the country.”
The statement urged all party leaders, elders and indeed
all members of the PDP across the board to continue to
support the president and his Transformation Agenda.
What Options Before the nPDP?
The effect of the decision of INEC in rejecting the
demand for recognition of the Baraje group and the
insistence that the Tukur-led PDP as the authentic party
leadership may eventually force the splinter group into
the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM).
Though it is expected that by both political and legal
decisions, the best option is for the nPDP to fall back on
where they were before the August 31 decision to pull
out of the mainstream PDP. But from the look of things,
that may not be a feasible decision at least for now.
THISDAY gathered that the decision to by the Baraje
group to write INEC in the first place was deliberate as it
was part of options contained in its Plan A. But now that
the recognition did not come true, this could open the
way for the Plan B which is to open discussion with the
PDM, considered as a prelude to discussions with the All
Progressive Congress (APC).
As it is already common knowledge, an inside source told
THISDAY that the game plan is all about 2015, adding
that since the main plan of the PDM is not to field a
candidate in the 2015 presidential election, that the new
party that consists mainly political associates of late
General Musa Yar’Adua, seems a viable option for the
splinter PDP.
According to the source, “We have seen the outcome of
Plan A, then, what is available now is the Plan B. By our
Plan B, it is to open discussion of fusing with political
like-minds and the option available now is the PDM. The
PDM is the godfather of the PDP.
“There is no option than this now because with what is
happening in the PDP, the doors are gradually being
closed against us in the New PDP (nPDP). Take for
instance, the Tukur-led NWC of the PDP has constituted
the Disciplinary and Finance Committees and none of our
members were considered and we say that there is
reconciliation going on.
“So, none of our members are considered in the prime
committees and you say we are reconciling, what kind of
reconciliation is this? Why the rush in setting up the two
committees and by next week, the committees would be
inaugurated. Some people are using the reconciliation
with the President as a delay tactics, while Tukur in PDP
is busy consolidating and the earlier the better for us. In
every move, Tukur and his team are busy tightening the
noose against us,” the source said.
Positive Side of the INEC Decision
Crisis is never new to political parties all over the world
and what is happening to the PDP is therefore not new in
the development of political parties in the country. But in
such crisis, the resolution of the crisis is to a large
extent, dependent on what INEC says and whom it
recognises. This was the case of the All Progressive
Grand Alliance (APGA) when the party was factionalised
between Victor Umeh and Maxi Okwu that were once
laying claims to the leadership of the party.
Also, in the crisis between the factions in the Congress
for Progressive Change (CPC), where Senator Rafai
Hanga and Tony Momoh were laying claims to the
leadership of the party. A decision taken by INEC by
recognising the Momoh faction to rest the leadership
crisis as Hanga with his group eventually joined PDM.
In the APGA crisis, once INEC decides through the Court
of Appeal resolution that Umeh is the authentic national
chairman, Maxi Okwe ceases to exist and he’ll gradually
fizzle out of the equation. Could this result in the nPDP
returning to the PDP or would it adopt the Hanga formula
by joining the PDM? That remains the one question for
the time.
