Former Jigawa state governor Alhaji Sule Lamido has berated the People Democratic Party (PDP) National Leadership for their failure to meditate into River state political crisis which now given a free hands to rapacious scavengers to key in with ulterior motives of stolen the party fortune.
Sule Lamido who was one of the PDP founding fathers expressed his anger against the party leadership in his Facebook page, and urged them to wakeup from their deep slumber to do what is expected from them before it become too late to the party
“PDP has all leadership structure including National Working Committee, but one shall wonder , how come their total absence in the saga playing out in the PDP Family in Rivers? Is the docility of the leadership of the PDP so comatose to the extent that President Tinubu of APC, our sworn rival and opponent is now the grand patriarch of PDP? ”
“It is inconceivable that a political party will simply sit back and allow its fortunes taken over by a rapacious scavenger, the APC. What President Tinubu did in the so-called peace meeting is not brokering peace in Rivers State, but using his office to enhance the fortunes of his political party.”
The PDP National Executive should feel sufficiently embarrassed if not slighted by the action taken by President Tinubu to reward a political mercenary with PDP fortunes in Rivers State.
“More to the eternal shame of PDP NWC that a tribal voice of Ijaws through Chief Edwin Clark press conference has to be deployed to challenge the illegality and unconstitutionality of the peace accord.”
“Like Chief Clark said in the press conference, if Tinbu as the then Governor of Lagos could stand up and fight President Obasanjo owesome power and personality and endure to overcome, can’t PDP do like wise? The PDP must take off from where Chief Clark started to fight this illegality through our justice system and all other legal means possible!”
If the National Executive of the PDP does not have the nerve to stand up and protect its own, it should honorably step down to allow for the election of competent hands” Sule Lamido declared
Alhaji Sule Lamido however urged the Rivers state governor Mr Fubara to not honour the documents he signed because it didn’t not represent the true and sincere political conflict resolution.
” Governor Fubara signed the document under an environment not friendly to real conflict resolution and it was presided by the force of fear, intimidation and blackmail. Therefore he shall shred the document and toss it into trash can.’ Lamido stated.
He added that, the so called peace accord in Rivers only planted the mines which will definitely explode in the not too distant future with collateral consequences on the entire national democratic system peace and stability
However the former PDP presidential aspirant accused President Bola Tinubu for neglecting his primary responsibility but focused on in his personal political interest against collective national interest and political stability.
“There are many areas yearning for peace in the country where President Tinubu’s political expertise, sagacity and wisdom is needed. What skills has he applied to stop the killings of citizens in Nigeria, which is his primary responsibility which he has conveniently looked away,”,This is very unfortunate ‘ Lamido declared
