Apparently, some PDP members still want Mu’azu as chairman

by Ranti Joseph

It seems some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) don’t want the chairman of the party Adamu Mu’azu to resign from office.

Two chieftains of PDP, Tasiu Iliyasu Hussaini and Waziri Amadu, have gone to court to stop alleged plot to force the Mu’azu, to resign.

The plaintiffs, in a suit they filed before an Abuja High Court on Friday sought for an order stopping any attempt to remove Mu’Azu and other members of the party’s NWC without recourse to the constitution of the party.

‎Sued as defendants in the matter were the PDP, Mu’Azu and other members of the NWC.

The other NWC members include, Deputy National Chairman, Uche Secondus; National Secretary, Wale Oladipo; Deupty National Secretary, Solomo Onwe; National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh; National Women Leader, Kema Chikwe.

Also ‎the National Financial Secretary of the party, Bolaji Anani, National Legal Adviser, Victor Kwom; National Organising Secretary, Abubakar Mustapha,National Youth Leader, Hussaini Maibasira; National Treasurer, Bala Buhari; and National Auditor, Adewale Adeyanju.

Specifically, the plaintiffs in their suit marked CV/1831/15, and dated May 14, 2015, want the court to restrain the party from dissolving the National Working Committee or forcing its members to resign their positions without following required procedure laid down by the party’s Constitution.

In an affidavit they filed in support of the suit, the plaintiffs told the court that, “These calls for the dissolution and resignation are against the provisions of our constitution and our collective resolve as members of the 1st defendant (PDP),” a supporting affidavit deposed to by Hussaini read in part.

According to them, “It is in the interest of all the parties to this action that the constitution of the 1st defendants obeyed to the letter.

“It will be in the interest of justice to grant the reliefs sought in this suit and prevent any violation of the clear and unambiguous provisions of our constitution.”

Besides, ‎the plaintiffs told the court that some leaders of the party were calling for the dissolution of the NWC of the party because of the defeat suffered in the last election.

They contended that such the call for their resignation was against the spirit of the constitution of the party and the collective resolve of party members “to reposition the party for success in future elections.”
