A former Governor of Jigawa State and one of the founding
fathers of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has faulted President Bola
Tinubu’s intervention in the Rivers State political crisis.
Sule Lamido stated this in a statement he posted on his
official Facebook page on Tuesday while reacting to the PDP’s lack of action in
the crisis plaguing the Rivers State chapter of the party.
He said, “do we still have the National Working Committee of
the PDP? Or better still, do we have a party called PDP?”
“If we have one of the two, how come their total absence in
the saga playing out in the PDP Family in Rivers? Is the docility of the
leadership of the PDP so comatose to the extent that President Tinubu of APC,
our sworn rival and opponent, is now the grand patriarch of the PDP?
“It is inconceivable that a political party will simply sit
back and allow its fortunes to be taken over by a rapacious scavenger, the APC.
What President Tinubu did in the so-called peace meeting is not brokering peace
in Rivers State, but using his office to enhance the fortunes of his political
party.
“Many areas are yearning for peace in the country where
President Tinubu’s political expertise, sagacity, and wisdom are needed. What
skills has he applied to stop the killings of citizens in Nigeria, which is his
primary responsibility which he has conveniently looked away?
“Unwittingly the so-called peace accord in Rivers only
planted the mines which will explode in the not-too-distant future with
collateral consequences on the entire country. Asari Mujaheed Tokubo and Chief
Edwin Clark alluded to this last week”
“The PDP National Executive should feel sufficiently
embarrassed if not slighted by the action taken by President Tinubu to reward a
political mercenary with PDP fortunes in Rivers State. More to the eternal
shame of PDP NWC that a tribal voice of Ijaws through Chief Edwin Clark’s press
conference has to be deployed to challenge the illegality and
unconstitutionality of the peace accord.
“Like Chief Clark said in the press conference, if Tinbu as
the then Governor of Lagos could stand up and fight President Obasanjo’s
awesome power and personality and endure to overcome, can’t PDP do wise? The
PDP must take off from where Chief Clark started to fight this illegality through
our justice system and all other legal means possible!
“If the National Executive of the PDP does not have the
nerve to stand up and protect its own, it should honorably step down to allow
for the election of competent hands.
“To Gov Fabura of Rivers State, the document you signed was
in an environment not friendly to real conflict resolution and it was presided
over by the force of fear, intimidation, and blackmail. Therefore shred the
document and toss it into the trash can.
“Gov Fubara may wish to know that President Tinubu, who
chaired the meeting, was running with the deer and hunting with the hound!”
Lamido said.
