Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has described the protest at the United States Embassy in Abuja by some members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the shameful last kick of a dead National Working Committee, NWC of tax collectors.
The former governor said that rather than going to the US
Embassy in Abuja to carry placards, “the suspended National Chairman, Umar
Iliya Damagum, and his gang of tax collectors should have travelled to
Washington to go and protest in front of the White House.”
In a statement on Thursday, Fayose wondered how it had
become the duty of the US and other European countries to help fix a political
party in Nigeria.
He asked whether it was the fault of anyone that “Damagum
and his gang of political undertakers” refused to act in accordance with the
constitution of the PDP.
The court had ruled last Friday that the PDP must conclude
some processes, including outstanding state congresses, before holding any
national convention.
He said: “Rather than coming back home to take proper stock
and bring all stakeholders together, they chose to announce the suspension of
major members of the NWC, including the National Secretary, who’s the only
person authorised to issue notice of meetings.
“Before then, they went to court to throw punches over legal
representation of the party, despite that it is clearly stated in the
constitution of the party that it is only the National Legal Adviser that has
powers to represent or appoint lawyers to represent the party in court cases.
“So, how is the consequence of their impunity the business
of the US or anyone?”
