The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at its meeting today thoroughly considered a number of very important issues pertaining to the state of affairs in our nation.
The NWC brings to the attention of President Muhammadu Buhari to some disturbing development in the polity which, if not nipped in the bud, might significantly affect our democracy and stability as a nation negatively, and that is the growing and unwarranted intrusion of some over-zealous security operatives on issues bordering purely on politics.In particular, the NWC wishes to draw the attention of the President to the continued intimidation, harassment as well as the hounding, arrest and detention of Electoral Officers and members of election tribunals by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and other PDP states.
The NWC notes that this unfortunate development has been the case since the appointment of the new Director General of the DSS, Alhaji Lawal Musa Daura, whom we learnt was a critical intelligence stakeholder of the APC as a card-carrying member of that party during the campaigns. This is ungodly and unacceptable.
We do hope that in his new job, the Director General of DSS is not mixing issues on the APC presidential candidate and the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, hence the need for Mr. President to rein him in as the development is capable of eroding the cherished independence of the judiciary and the electoral commission, a sine qua non for a virile democracy, which guarantees our unity and stability as a nation.
Similarly, we urge Mr. President to take a critical look at the issue of the appointment of Mrs. Amina Zakari as Acting Chairman of INEC for which our party has severally raised some salient issues why she is not suitable for that position. It is incontrovertible that Mrs. Zakari by virtue of her blood relationship with Mr. President cannot preside over the affairs of an Independent National Electoral Commission.
Nigeria belongs to all of us irrespective of political, religious and ethnic affiliation and as a responsible political party we shall not fold our hands and watch while our nation drift along dangerous line.
Furthermore, the NWC commends and congratulates the PDP caucuses in the Senate and the House of Representatives on the smooth emergence of the Minority leadership in the National Assembly. We note that the process was without any interferences whatsoever from the leadership of our great party in keeping with the dictates of the independence of the legislature.
Finally, the NWC deliberated on the state of the party in Ekiti State and resolved that it only recognizes the state Exco led by Chief Idowu Faleye. The NWC however summons all critical stakeholders in the party administration in Ekiti State to a meeting with the national leadership on the issues in the state chapter.
Signed:
Prince Uche Secondus
Acting National Chairman

Who can have compassion on the ignorant is a victim of regrets, a supporter of ignorance and a builder of stupidity.
PDP really know how/when to cry wolf. We've heard u Mr Secondus.

PDP go and sleep
The former director general of dss under last administration is he not a card carring member of pdp? What of Marian ogar nko.
Chai PDP una too complain. Was it not pdp that put so many relations in powerful positions as well? I heard it from the gripe vine that someone's sister in law was minister.
PDP can do nonsense..they don't support zakari...well...when Jonathan was in power why didn't they say they support khan as inec rec in rivers state...the funny thing is...buhari is not interfering with those institutions....the institutions are acting independently now as it ought to be because the right man that has got the trait of leadership is at the helm of affairs.

Oyonshi PDP, you will vomit all your loot. The game has just begun.

Wateva
Bad Market.
I would 've loved all the Service Chiefs to Remain Neutral.
Bt then, this is Nigeria where the PDP has already set some precedence.
hummm ok
PDP are just making unnecessary noise..
You guys are gullible idiots and I feel sorry for you all.You forever be blinded by APC for d rest of your lives. Broke retards who only blog when they get free wifi,exactly y you will remain slaves for the rest of your lives
Why would sensitive person associate a political party to an ethnic group? This is unecessary and uncalled for. We must guard against infuriating statements on this blog.
Hmmm...u not helping
PDP pls put UR acts together. NIGERIANS won't vote for you by all these negative attacks. Build up a constructive action group and also help the present govt build Nigeria. This is about nigeria and U guys should get that in UR heads.
PDP is a caricature of what political parties should be. Highlighting the word " we learnt". How cheap and ludicrous.This ain't business as usual. Get busy PDP. You can't revamp with all these high school dirty politics.
Idiot fool u are the slave,u could live a thousand and still be a fool,who is retarded APC or the PDP dim wits ho started this charade and are afraid of arrest,he has not take what belongs to nobody and everybody should not be afraid simple,so shut srry asshole excuse u call a mouth
Retard Alert.
Horn the Alarm.
Dis is democracy so I think their are free 2 talk...
Thief party I just started, u never see any thing, PDP is dead for ever
You know what! I am proud. Proud to be a card carrying member of the pdp. In all this campaign/election brohaha, the party had grown. They now speak with one loud voice. A voice that has shown itself Distinct. Regardless of time and of circumstance. The Pdp will come back much stronger with the help of apc. It is already evident that there is inherent capacity to deal with differences. What we need to develop right now is our approach and (touch wood) it is happening. Already. Maybe we are even forming an ideology in the process. Wow. I am glad we lost. We finally have a chance to build a party. Wow.
Beyond this, thx for remembering that Nigeria doesn't just inhabit men, women exist in this society and our great party recognized this in the appointment of senator olujimi as deputy minority whip. this means a lot for me as an aspiring woman.
God bless the pdp
God bless our great nation, Nigeria
God bless his children
Amen
PDP shud shut d fuck up..
Pdp re bunch of dummies.
They always like to Famz with Yoruba..Omo ale jatijati ...Olobe

I have realised people on these blogs don't read news. They just talk based on the headlines. That is why they say if you want to hide something from an African, put it in a book.
Irrespective of what the party has done in the past or who is speaking, these people are at the top most echelon of government and can and should speak. So that when these things begin to happen to poor masses or social media activists, who will then speak up and be heard?
The head of DSS should be apolitical. So also should the head of INEC. You pick your village people who bear the name of your village as surname and they begin to hound and hunt down people. Fear is rife in the country. The DSS can pick just anyone for their torture and torment without formerly charging them. Confine them in their dungeon. Was this happening in the past regime? DSS is now a tool of witchunt for the president. In the name of searching for things in their houses. You will accept it now because it's the corrupt people they are doing it to. What happens when it starts happening to your family members. And if this INEC is badly constituted and you call them wailing wailers. What happens after 4years when you are not satisfied with the government and want to vote them out? Do you think the corrupt and power drunk village members will let your votes count?
The more diverse the voice, the stronger the democracy.
The new government is teaching people a lesson not to ever relinquish power. APC will never want to give up this power they have now because they know what awaits them. Just look at the Lagos example and you won't look far.
What hurts is that you people can't drop partisan or tribal sentiments see the bigger picture. Nigeria is mentally divided and only people benefitting from these are the vile politicians.
Have alwaz known that although PDP deălt wit Nigerians , it is still a far beta choice compared 2 APC . . . Now d evil pple hav decamped , am sure PDP can rebrand nd pass tru a purgation process. I am watching APC perform d miracles dey promised , nd its aredi getin interesting. Nice one PDP , suprisinly my favourite political party in Nigeria @ d moment.........APCites am free 2 xprex my opinion xo dnt exhibit ur ignorance on my comment.
What has igbo people got to do with this now? If u are so bitterd about our existence and success go and drink boiled accid
