The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended the chairman of the Borno state chapter, Alhaji Baba Basharu for conducts which the party said were inimical to the progress of the party.
The suspension order, which was conveyed through a statement on Wednesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, said Basharu also flouting provisions of article 58 (1), (b), (c), (f) and (h) of the party’s constitution.
The statement said, “After preliminary hearing on reports of various activities inimical to the progress of the party, especially flouting the provisions of article 58 (1), (b), (c), (f) and (h) of the PDP constitution, the National Working Committee (NWC) has suspended the Borno State chairman of our great party, Alhaji Baba Basharu.
“The above is in line with the relevant provisions of the PDP constitution on disciplinary procedures.
“Accordingly, Alhaji Baba Basharu has been referred to the National Disciplinary Committee for appropriate action in line with the provisions of the constitution of the PDP.”
Meanwhile, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Mohammed has attributed the PDP’s crushing defeat in the 2015 general elections to impunity, arrogance and lawlessness.
Mohammed, who is one of the contenders for the position of the party’s national chairman, stated this on Wednesday when he led a delegation of his supporters to the PDP national secretariat.
Pledging his loyalty to the National Chairman, Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff, the former minister commended the chairman for his doggedness, saying Sheriff did not have the negative traits that caused the party’s defeat.
He declared his willingness to mend fences with two former governors of his native Bauchi state, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu and Isa Yuguda to end disagreements with the duo arising from conflict of interests.
He said; “There is no way to write the history of Bauchi state without the mention of Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu and Isa Yuguda. I respect them as my seniors and if I will constitute a stumbling block to the unity of the state we are advocating, I would rather stand aside for peace to reign.
“Instead of washing our dirty linens in public, I have agreed to bow to any of my ambitions in order to ensure that there is unity of purpose for PDP to prosper in the state”.
In response, the chairman observed that political crisis in Bauchi state has constantly become a major problem to the PDP.
According to him, unless other aggrieved political bigwigs in the state agreed to sheathe their swords, there would never be any headway in the party’s reconciliation efforts.
The chairman said, “I have agreed to take part in the reconciliation process of party members either in Bauchi or the FCT so that I will have the locus standi from the North-East as the chairman of the party.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
