It would be recalled that the Lagos PDP
currently has two chairmen.
“There is no division in the party. It is just
some minions misbehaving. There are laws in
the party. The state chairman is a member of
the National Executive Committee of the party.
I didn’t state it: It is part of the party’s
constitution that no member of the NEC can be
removed by any lower strata except by the
NEC.
“Thus, I don’t know the constitution they used
in removing the chairman. They are doing it for
their selfish interest. Whatever Musiliu
Obanikoro is doing in Lagos is just a
nonsensical move. They should be dealt with
by the disciplinary committee of the party and
thrown out. I think the ultimate plan is to get
some people to defect to the APC.
“Is Obanikoro a loyal member of the party?
Party chairmen cannot be removed illegally.
When we wanted our national chairman,
Adamu Mu’azu, to go, we did not do it
illegally. He resigned by himself.
We are at the Election Petitions Tribunal and
need to be focused. This is not the time for
such misbehaviour,” he said.
Speaking on how the party will forge ahead
with no national chairman or Board of Trustess
chairman, he said it is only the NEC that can
recommend a new chairman and call a
convention to ratify the decision.
“Thus, in the meantime, the deputy national
chairman is acting (in that capacity). Since the
chairman has resigned, it is the responsibility
of BoT members to elect a new BoT chairman
and that can be done internally by the BoT
members.
“The BoT does not have executive powers like
the national chairman. It is the elders’ club of
the party and it only handles serious matters
which the party cannot handle. Thus, Dr. Aliru
Bello is acting for now. We don’t do elections
in BoT, we just do consultation and appoint”,
he averred.
Meanwhile, he had earlier taken a swipe at
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying he’s a
joker if he thinks he has the full control of the
Southwest, adding that the APC national leader
lacks knowledge of Yoruba history.
