PDP Vows To Sanction Govs, Elected Public Office Holderss Supporting Tinubu’s 2nd Term
LAGOS APRIL 30TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) declared on Tuesday that it would soon sanction governors and elected public officers on its platform who are supporting the 2027 re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Akwa Ibom State governor, Umo Eno, his Delta State colleague who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sheriff oborevwori, are in the lead of those seeking support for Tinubu’s re-election.
At its first National Working Committee (NWC) meeting yesterday, the PDP also disclosed that it has adopted all the recommendations of the last meeting held by the forum of its governors in Ibadan.
Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Umar Damagum, at a press conference attended by NWC members, said the NEC will hold on the 27th of May as recommended.
On the defection of PDP members to the APC, Damagum said: “They (the APC) can coerce, like I said earlier, cajole and intimidate our members into joining them. But they can only do that because they feel they have what it takes.”
“Nigerians, when the time comes, will show them the results of their actions and they will receive the result from Nigerians. It has happened before, and it will repeat itself.
“The parameters that will make Nigerians revolt against them are all in place. This government has been so insensitive to the yearnings and feelings of people.”
He further stated that “We are Nigerians, taxpaying Nigerians, law-abiding citizens. And we have rights. And when the time comes, Nigerians will show them that they have rights.
“2027 is between Nigerians and Tinubu and the APC. So I want to urge our supporters to remain calm.”
The PDP also announced that it has directed that instructed the South South zonal caretaker committee to oversee the party in Delta after dissolving all the structures that have already been there since the majority of them have shifted.
“And in not too long a time, we’ll constitute a caretaker committee.”
Damagum disclosed that at the meeting, the NWC has also instructed the national legal advisor to recover our mandate that they have taken away, insisting that “the fortune of this party cannot be just left in the hands of our adversaries; so he will take legal action to retrieve those mandates.
“As far as the electoral act says, whenever you leave, you must leave the chair that you have occupied, so we are going to still do that and also want to warn that party faithful should be faithful to the party.”
