The National Working Committee
(NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to a CCTV footage
relating to allegations of malfeasance against a senator elected on the
platform of the PDP, Senator Elisha Abbo.
Kola Ologbondiyan, National
Publicity Secretary, in a statement on Wednesday, said the PDP, as a
law-abiding and upstanding party, detests and completely condemns such act of
lawlessness and callousness as exhibited in the video and will never condone
it.
He stated that investigation has
been launched into the matter and has summoned the lawmaker.
According to Ologbondiyan, “Our
party is also shocked that the harmless victim of the unprovoked assault is
said to be a nursing mother, who ought to be protected.
“Though this is a personal conduct
of an individual which has no bearing with the culture of our party, the PDP
however holds that no responsible person will condone such an attitude.
“In the light of this, the NWC
has commenced investigation into the matter and summons Senator Elisha Abbo in
line with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP and code of conduct of
our members.
“In the same vein, the party has
taken note of the immediate action taken by the Senate.
“The PDP, at all levels of
engagement, is reputed for her utmost respect and commitment towards the
rights, safety and wellbeing of our citizens, particularly our women and cannot
tolerate any callous assault on any Nigerian.
“The PDP therefore assures
Nigerians that it will always stand on the side of justice and will never spare
a thought in taking action on any of its members found wanting, particularly
those elected or appointed into public offices.”
