The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has insisted that its
planned national convention would hold.
PDP’s Chairman Board of Trustees, BoT, Walid Jibril, said
the convention would hold despite the suit challenging the event by the party’s
suspended National Chairman, Uche Secondus.
The Rivers State High Court restrained Secondus from
parading himself as the party’s chairman.
But, Secondus vowed never to withdraw the suit challenging
his removal from office.
He had challenged PDP to stop all forms of preparation for
the convention pending the hearing of his case in the Court of Appeal.
However, Jubril urged Secondus not to make the former ruling
party ungovernable.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, the BoT
chairman insisted that the party’s National convention would take place as
scheduled.
According to Jibrin: “It will be very wrong for Secondus,
being a founding member of the PDP, to make the party ungovernable.
“Could it be now that he goes against what the party is
doing, what the party intends to do? I say it will be very wrong if Secondus is
taking another fight completely, yielding the course to solve his own problem.
“Everything will come to an end. He had been in this party
since the formation of the party. Is he going to die, what is going to happen
to him? Let’s look at the party as supreme and go on with the decision of this
party.
“I would like to say that the convention planned for the
30th of this month is on and we’re going to be there and carry out our duties
and improve our party.
“We have processes and we have the national deputy chairman
from the south, where he comes from and he is on course and he is now leading
our party. His presence in the convention is not necessary at all.”
