Pray do we still have the National Working Committee of the PDP? Or better still, do we have a party called PDP?<\/p>\n
If we have one of the two, how come their total absence in the saga playing out in the PDP Family in Rivers? Is the docility of the leadership of the PDP so comatose to the extent that President Tinubu of APC, our sworn rival and opponent is now the grand patriarch of PDP?<\/p>\n
It is inconceivable that a political party will simply sit back and allow its fortunes taken over by a rapacious scavenger, the APC. What President Tinubu did in the so-called peace meeting is not brokering peace in Rivers State, but using his office to enhance the fortunes of his political party.<\/p>\n
There are many areas yearning for peace in the country where President Tinubu\u2019s political expertise, sagacity and wisdom is needed. What skills has he applied to stop the killings of citizens in Nigeria, which is his primary responsibility which he has conveniently looked away?<\/p>\n
Unwittingly the so called peace accord in Rivers only planted the mines which will definitely explode in the not too distant future with collateral consequences on the entire country. Asari Mujaheed Tokubo and Chief Edwin Clark have alluded to this last week.<\/p>\n
The PDP National Executive should feel sufficiently embarrassed if not slighted by the action taken by President Tinubu to reward a political mercenary with PDP fortunes in Rivers State. More to the eternal shame of PDP NWC that a tribal voice of Ijaws through Chief Edwin Clark press conference has to be deployed to challenge the illegality and unconstitutionality of the peace accord.<\/p>\n
Like Chief Clark said in the press conference, if Tinbu as the then Governor of Lagos could stand up and fight President Obasanjo\u2019s awesome power and personality and endure to overcome, can\u2019t PDP do likewise? The PDP must take off from where Chief Clark started to fight this illegality through our justice system and all other legal means possible!<\/p>\n
If the National Executive of the PDP does not have the nerve to stand up and protect its own, it should honorably step down to allow for the election of competent hands.<\/p>\n
To Governor Fubara of Rivers State, the document you signed was under an environment not friendly to real conflict resolution and it was presided by the force of fear, intimidation and blackmail. Therefore shred the document and toss it into trash can.<\/p>\n
Governor Fubara may wish to know that President Tinubu, who chaired the meeting, was running with the dear and hunting with hound!.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
