The Chairman of the People Democratic Party, Isoko North, Deacon Godwin Ogorugba had yesterday warned all PDP faithful who has embarked on anti-party activities to desist from such acts to avoid being sanction.
Ogorugba gave this warning in Otobio, Isoko North Local Government Area after a closed door meeting with his LGEA executives, saying that “some disgruntled element are planning to set up kangaroos Ward Excos in some few Wards to cause imperfection and we are totally against it”.
He stated that the party wrath will be invoked upon one Party faithful (names withheld) who sent a text of the meeting noting that, “he has been summoned to appear to appear at the PDP Secretariat in Ozoro to answer question”.
The PDP boss further added that, a disciplinary committee has been setup headed by Chief Edward Onowhorua as Chairman, Hon. Chief Umukoro Sunday as Secretary, Barr. Famous Izobo member, Oyibotha Victor Member (Chairman of all Ward Chairmen) and Mrs. Kesiena to handle any anti-party activities.
Ogorugba also alleged that, there are three leaders of the party that are holding government positions suspected to have been the brain behind the kangaroo meeting, positing that such act is anti-party. Adding that “a committee has been setup also to investigate the activities of the kangaroos either to destroy this party and If they are found wanting, we will summon them to the state Governor for their actions so that law can take its course. For now we have resolved that no secrete cow no matter your position in the party. Anybody who disregards the party guidelines will be dealt with accordingly to the party constitution”.
Other committee setup by the PDP LGEA executive is an investigation committee headed by; Barr. Izobo Famous (LGA Legal Adviser PDP), Dcns. Adhomo Edna, Hon. Ojuye Richard, and Comr. Adhe Emmanuel, that was sent out to find where the kangaroo meeting is taking place with this people and anybody who presented himself to be inaugurated today will be summoned to the party secretariat for common actions.
Deacon Ogorugba however made it clear to all PDP Members that “no matter how highly placed you are, whether you are a House of Assembly Member, Local Government Chairman, Counselor, you are not above the party rules and regulations. If your position will cause disaffection to the Party, we have no option than to lead delegation to the Governor to either remove you or initiate a recalling. Another informal committee was sent today to go out to find where this kangaroo meeting is taking place with this people and anybody who presented himself to be inaugurated today will be summoned to the party secretariat for common actions”.
