The rift between Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dominated National Assembly over the budget has become a cause of concern for the ruling Party.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued by the spokesman of the party, Chief Oliseh Metu, the party while expressing dismay that party elected representatives are not on the same page in accordance with the\u00a0 manifesto and constitution, warned that it will not fail to deploy full disciplinary measures on members who bring the party to disrepute.<\/p>\n

The party it would seem gave a blanket warning to its members in both arms of government.<\/p>\n

He said “the NWC exhaustively discussed and frowned at the disagreeable trend where members of the Party elected and appointed into federal positions engage in utterances and actions that portray the PDP in bad light and as having no unity of purpose.<\/p>\n

“We wish to emphasize that our manifesto as well as our constitution is abundantly clear on the need for all Party members, especially the elected representatives of the people to be on the same page at all times in order to ease the realization of our policies and programmes for the benefit of the people. We therefore warn that the Party will invoke the full weight of its disciplinary measures on any erring member who further brings the Party to disrepute.”<\/p>\n

However sources within the party told Pointblanknews that the party was embarrassed by the lack of cohesion and understanding between both arms of government in spite of the party dominating the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Party sources said the party hierarchy is disturbed that the back and forth between the executive and the National Assembly sends a wrong signal to Nigerians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
