The Governor of Adamawa State,
Murtala Nyako, has said the suspension of key members of the Abubakar
Baraje-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party has not only killed the
peace process, it has buried it.
Nyako, who said this on Tuesday, was
reacting to Monday’s suspension of the factional chairman of the party, Alhaji
Abubakar Baraje, the party’s National Secretary, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola,
and Senator Ibrahim Kazaure by the Alhaji Bamanga Tukur-led PDP.
He explained that the PDP under
Tukur’s leadership shot itself in the leg by ignoring a legitimate court order
to reinstate Oyinlola and taking actions which had “killed and buried” the
peace process.
Nyako, who spoke through his Director
of Press and Public Affairs, Ahmad Sajo, said he had always known that nothing
good would come out of the discussions with a PDP where Tukur remained the
national chairman.
He said, “We always knew there was no
peace process. The peace process is dead and buried. The court had given them a
soft landing but instead of obeying the court order, look at the step they have
taken.
“It’s an ill wind that will blow
nobody any good. We know that they are not committed to peace; Bamanga Tukur
will lead this party to destruction.
“The President should think of the
legacy he will leave behind and not allow himself to be led astray by people
like Tukur.”
In a speech he delivered at a parley
with members of the Bishops and Emminent Clerics Forum of Nigeria, Niger-Delta
Chapter, in Yola, Nyako said he was no longer prepared to work with the PDP.
Nyako said, “Let me quote one
statement in one of our Great Books, the Holy Bible; ‘Can two walk together
except they be agreed’ to do so?
“We in Adamawa State have resolved
not to ‘walk together’ with massive wrongdoers and cannot tolerate impunity and
lawlessness by the national leadership of any political party located in Abuja,
because that would be tantamount to inviting chaos and anarchy to our beloved
state.
“We cannot and shall not ‘walk
together’ with the evil-few of Adamawa indigenes with their cohorts residing in
Abuja who wish us ill, calamity and destruction.
“These are the same fellows who must
have brought about the declaration of state of emergency on Adamawa State six
months ago and the renewal of the emergency rule a few days ago.”

ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with all these power hungry govs and others. They broke away from pdp and formed a new party. Now the PDP decides to make things right for them by suspending them from PDP and they are crying over this. They say you cannot eat your cake and still have it. QED. My take on this is that they should be fully expelled from PDP. Kudos to Jonathan and the PDP for this bold step.
