The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in disarray as the he Caretaker Committee headed by Senator Ahmed Markafi ignores the Appeal Court judgement stopping it from organising any convention as scheduled.
While making their position known, the Chairman of the Board
of Trustees of the party, Dr. Walid Jibrin stated that “We are yet to see any
judgement suspending the national convention. Whichever way it is, if we decide
to appeal and we are given accelerated hearing, nothing will stop the
convention.”
As according to him, no external influence will ever succeed
in destroying the party. He also stated that there are mechanisms on ground to
reconcile all the warring factions of the party.
“We are engaging in
genuine reconciliation and mediation that will make us come out stronger to win
Edo and Ondo governorship polls, the rerun election in Rivers and capture power
in 2019.
“We will get the judgment copy and study it and thereafter
take necessary actions.
“But whoever is out to destroy our efforts, particularly the
Edo primaries, God will not forgive such person because we have all the INEC
documents authenticating the Edo primaries.”
He therefore used the opportunity to appeal to all aggrieved
members of the party who have legal battle against each other to withdraw such
in the interest of peace and reconciliation.
He also appealed to supporters of the party who may be
frustrated by the unfolding events to remain calm and shun personal attacks on
individuals.
According to him: “We have observed the interest purported
to be shown by some people who are committed to killing PDP. We will X-ray the
situation because we are opposition party dealing with issues that will help
Nigeria rather than abusing individuals.
“The BoT is up to the task to resolve the problems after due
consultation. God will not allow anybody to be used to destroy the party.”
