RESOLUTION OF THE PDP NWC ON THE ISSUES SORROUNDING THE
MINORITY LEADERSHIP OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) met today, the 5th of July 2019 and reviewed issues
surrounding the Minority Leadership of the House of Representatives.
The Party noted the roles played by the under-listed members
which resulted in the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi
Gbajabiamila, reading another list for Minority Leadership of the House other
than the list submitted to him by our party, the PDP.
The members are; Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, Hon. Wole Oke, Hon.
Lynda Ikpeazu, Hon. Anayo Edwin, Hon. Gideon Gwadi, Hon. Toby Okechukwu and
Hon. Adekoya Abdul-Majid.
After preliminary examination by the NWC, it was evident
that the roles played by the above mentioned members, bordered on indiscipline,
insubordination and disobedience of party directives contrary to Section 58
(1)(b)(c)(f)(h) of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017), which provides
that:
“Subject to the provision of this Constitution, the Party
shall have power to discipline any member who says or does anything likely to
bring the party into disrepute, hatred or contempt; disobeys or neglects to
carry out lawful directives of the party or any organ or officer of the party;
engages in anti-party activities; or engages in any conduct likely to cause
disaffection among members of the party or is likely to disrupt the peaceful,
lawful and efficient conduct of the business of the party”.
Consequent upon this, the above mentioned members of our
party are hereby suspended for one month and this matter is hereby referred to
the National Disciplinary Committee of our party, in keeping with Section 57(3)
of the PDP Constitution.
Signed:
Kola Ologbondiyan
National Publicity Secretary
