New PDP: Oyinlola On His Own - Osun PDP

The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has pledged its loyalty to President Goodluck Jonathan and the faction of the party led by Alhaji
Bamangar Tukur.

In a veiled attempt to distance itself from the stance of the former National Secretary of the party, Olagunsoye Oyinlola's open alignment with the Atiku Abubakar's faction of the party last Saturday, the State Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Gani Olaoluwa, in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Monday, said the state chapter of the party took the position to support Jonathan and Tukur-led faction after a meeting of the PDP leaders in Osun State, held in Abuja.

According to Olaoluwa, the stakeholders' meeting of the Osun PDP had in attendance a member of the Board of Trustees of the party, Alhaji Shuaibu Oyedokun; Minister of State for Defence, Erelu Olusola Obada; Dr. Olu Alabi; Jide Adeniji, Senator Iyiola Omisore; Chief Abiola Ogundokun; and Chief Francis Fadahunsi, among others.

The PDP chairman said the party in the state remained formidable and would not support fractionalisation. It also urged any member that had any issue with the party to follow the path of dialogue, rather than being confrontation.

The statement read in part, "Osun state chapter of the PDP has dissociated itself from the group that broke out of the PDP, while passing a vote of confidence on the leadership of the party at the national level."

The Real Reasons Why We Broke Away - New PDP

The festering crisis in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday reached the boiling point as former vice president Atiku Abubakar, seven governors and delegates from their respective states staged a walkout from the venue of the special convention.

They converged immediately at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre and announced the birth of a new PDP with former national secretary of the PDP, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, Dr Sam Sam Jaja and Olagunsoye Oyinlola as national chairman, deputy national chairman and national secretary respectively.

The seven governors are Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Babangida Muazu Aliyu (Niger), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers). Apart from the deputy governor of Rivers State, Tele Ikuru, all the deputies of the six other states were at the Yar’Adua Centre where the birth of the parallel PDP was announced.

Curiously, former president Olusegun Obasanjo and former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida were absent at the convention. Speaking on the birth of the new PDP, Baraje chided the presidency for encouraging its national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur to perpetrate arbitrariness in the ruling party, saying the formation of the new platform became imperative as all complaints were unheeded.

“We address you today (yesterday) as leaders of PDP, who are worried by the increasing repression, restriction of freedom of association, arbitrary suspension of members and other such violations of democratic principles by a faction of our party led by Alhaji Tukur. “While we have done everything humanly possible to bring to the attention of critical stakeholders within the party the dangers inherent in the course being charted by that leadership, it has become very clear that the desperate permutations towards 2015 general elections have blinded certain people from the consequences of their actions. “Not only has the constitution of the party been serially destroyed by Alhaji Tukur and his fellow travellers, all the organs of the party have been rendered virtually ineffectual by a few people who act as though above the law.

Unfortunately, it is obvious that they get encouragement from the presidency whose old calculations are geared towards shutting out any real or imagined opposition ahead of the party’s presidential primaries for the 2015 elections. “As leaders of our great party, we consider it a sacred responsibility to save the PDP from the antics of a few desperadoes who have no democratic temperament and are therefore bent on hijacking the party for selfish ends. While the list of their violations of the tenets of our great party is long, we will highlight just a few:

*The National Executive Committee of the PDP at its belated meeting June 20, 2013 approved July 20, 2013 for the conduct of a special national convention. However, that date was changed to August 31 without reverting to NEC (the only authority vested with such powers) by a few people, apparently acting on the authority of the presidency.

*Notwithstanding the fact that INEC had noted that the PDP congresses in nine states were not properly conducted, the illegal delegates from such states are being paraded at the so-called convention being held today in a cynical attempt to circumvent the law and further bring the name of the party to disrepute.

*In gross violation of the PDP constitution which stipulates that the NEC meeting must hold at least once in a quarter, Alhaji Tukur and a few people have been running the party like a personal fiefdom without recourse to that important decision-making organ of the party.

*The NEC of the party accepted the resignation of the former members of the NWC whose offices were affected by INEC observations based principally on the agreement that the affected officers would be returned to their respective offices at the convention. However, against the decision of the NEC and in a not-so-clever bid to exclude some perceived opponents of the few powerful members who are trying to hijack the party, these positions have been made open to some Yes-men within the party.

*Notwithstanding INEC insistence that Senator Any Uba is the duly elected candidate of the party in Anambra State and against the background that he is so recognized by majority of our party members, the Bamanga Tukur-led executives announced the purported suspension of Senator Uba and some other members close to him in defiance of subsisting court orders.

*Despite that the PDP constitution is very clear that the state chapter of the party cannot discipline a national officer, the deputy national chairman, Mr. Sam Jaja, has reportedly been dismissed by some renegades who have hijacked the Rivers State chapter of our party with the connivance of the Bamanga Tukur leadership.

*The persistent change in the list of the party’s delegates in many states as part of a deliberate attempt to rig the party’s nomination of candidates, especially at the presidential and gubernatorial levels, with a view to foisting on the PDP some unpopular candidates who are bound to lose at the polls.

*The suspension without due process of the governors of Rivers and Sokoto states. Even when the illegal senior on Sokoto State Governor has been lifted, the Rivers Governor remains purportedly suspended for no just cause.

*The illegal dissolution of the Adamawa State chapter of the party is a clear abuse of power by Alhaji Bamanga Tukur thus causing confusion in his home state. Given the foregoing, it is very clear that the Tukur leadership cannot guarantee for our millions of party members democracy anchored on free choice and the rule of law. We have therefore taken it upon ourselves to rescue the party from their dictatorial leadership.
