…say suspension engineered by APC backed Pro-Wike group led by Anyawu, Ikpeazu
Nigeria’s Opposition Lawmakers Coalition has urged Nigerians and party faithful to disregard the purported suspension of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Distinguished Senator Adolphus Wabara from the Party.
The Coalition in a statement by its Spokesperson, Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere alleged that the suspension was engineered by the former National Secretary of the Party, Samuel Anyanwu, former governor of Abia State Okezie Ikpeazu and some others who are loyal to the minister of FCT, Nysesom Wike.
Ugochinyere dismissed the purported suspension, describing it as null and void and of no effect whatsoever not being consistent with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) and laid down Rules of the Party.
He added that Adolphus Nwabara remains the National Chairman of the BoT and there’s nothing these Pro Wike group can do.
The statement reads, “This is an attempt to ridicule the efforts of Adolphus Nwabara to help find sustainable solutions to these party problems. How can you say you’re suspending the national board of trustee chairman of the party? A member of the National Executive Committee. When i say that Samuel Anyanwu, Umar Damagum and Wike camp have gone crazy, people don’t believe it.
“The suspension is the figment imagination of these pro Wike group APC in PDP is dead on arrival, you cannot suspend the National board trustee chairman, that the constitution expressly forbids you. You can see that there’s nothing sacred to them, they are out to destroy this party. Now they’ve moved their political madness, attempting to destabilize the board of trustee. But i know the BoT members are eminent and they can see through this political madness. It’s a suspension that was conducted in FCT ministry as far am concerned. The National board of trustee chairman of our party remains, Sen. Adolphus Nwabara and there’s nothing these Pro Wike group can do.”
