Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, has said the floodgate of crisis has been opened in the party.
Ologbondiyan said the PDP acting Chairman, Umar Damagum
opened the floodgate of crisis by directing Sam Anyanwu to resume as the party’s
National Secretary.
Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoye have been at loggerheads over
who occupies the office of the PDP’s National Secretary.
On Wednesday, Damagum led a high-powered PDP delegation to
the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to
seek a resolution to the crisis.
Following the visit, Damagum directed Anyanwu to resume his
duties at the PDP National Secretariat.
Faulting his directive, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT,
Minister, Nyesom Wike had said Damagum can’t give such an order because Anyanwu
was not his appointee.
However, Ologbondiyan insisted that Damagum contravened
PDP’s constitution by directing Anyanwu to resume his duties as National
Secretary.
In an interview with Arise Television, the former PDP
spokesman said: “When you talk about the issue of crisis in our party, I think
the floodgate has just been opened because the action of Damagum acting in
contravention of the party’s constitution by unilaterally directing Anyanwu to
resume office as National Secretary, I can’t describe the implication.
“NEC which is superior to that National Working Committee,
which is second only to the national convention of the party took a decision at
the 99th meeting held at Legacy House in Abuja.
“It said look, we have taken the report of the Southeast who
are complaining about the fact that their nomination has not been accepted, so
at the next NEC meeting that will come up on June 30th, we will now take a
decision.
“How can a selected group of people go and sit down
somewhere that the person whose office is in question should resume.
“This is outside the resolution of the NEC, do we still have
a party?”
