PDP NWC Dismisses Purported Suspension of Party BoT Chairman, Senator Wabara

The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to the purported suspension of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of our great Party, Distinguished Senator Adolphus Wabara from the Party

The NWC categorically dismisses the purported suspension as null and void and of no effect whatsoever not being consistent with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) and laid down Rules of our great Party.

For emphasis no State Working Committee has the power to suspend or take any disciplinary action against a member of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Party without due recourse to the NWC as clearly provided under Section 57 (7) of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017)

Section 57 (7) is unambiguous in providing that; “Notwithstanding any other provision relating to discipline, no Executive Committee at any level, except the National Executive Committee, shall entertain any question of discipline as may relate or concern a member of the National Executive Committee, Deputy Governors or members of the National Assembly…”

The explicit import of Section 57 (7) is that the Abia State Chapter has no powers whatsoever to take any disciplinary action against the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara, being a member of the National Executive Committee of the Party.

The PDP therefore condemns the purported suspension of Senator Wabara as reckless, unconstitutional and cautions those behind this act in defiance of the PDP Constitution to retrace their steps as the NWC will not hesitate to take appropriate disciplinary actions to preserve the stability of our Party and the sanctity of its Constitution.

The NWC calls on all leaders, critical stakeholders, members and supporters of our Party in Abia State, the South East Zone and indeed across the country to disregard the purported suspension.

The suspension is null and void from the onset.

For it to be valid, Wabara would first be suspended by his Ward Executives and then rectified by LGA Executives before it gets to SEC.

But the foolish PDP Chairman in Abia who is probably in one Wike’s fetish pots thinks rushing to Enyimba FM to announce Wabara’s suspension will make it hold water.

This same reason is why Hope Uzodimma became governor of Imo State. Because his fictitious results was supposed to be canceled at the polling unit but because he already bought polling unit Returning Officers, the results were canceled by LGA Returning Officer which automatically made the cancellation illegal and Supreme Court ruled against it.

So, when people don’t know the law, they rejoice at every inanity.

And supposing Wabara was to legitimately suspended, BOT has already rectified Ude-Okoye and anything happening now is mere jamboree.

Wike and his Wastern lovers will cry blood

If people who are smart are around Wabara, let him rush to court quickly to upturn the decision suspending him as BOT Chairman. They are planning to use another Court to void all BOT decisions on the ground that he had been suspended as at the time he chaired the BOT decisions.

Shegebanza:
Something the state chairman would have just done by proxy. Get the ward chairman to suspend him as a party member (Obaseki's antidote for Oshiomhole) then leave the rest for the court to interpret.

EmeeNaka:
Wike is slowly losing his grip of the PDP. He has lost the state chapter and will soon lose at the Federal Level.

Proudlyngwa:
Hopeless PDP

Useless Hypocritical Party of Share the Money.

PDP only exist to share the money, without money they cannot function.

Let them go and complete Wadata Plaza first.

Useless Party of Unapologetic Criminals.
