Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has described today’s protest at the United States Embassy in Abuja, by some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a shameful last kick of a dead National Working Committee (NWC) of tax collectors.
The former governor said rather than going to the US Embassy in Abuja to carry placards, “the suspended National Chairman, Umar Iliya Damagum and his gang of tax collectors should have traveled to Washington to go and protest in front of the White House.”
In a statement on Thursday, Fayose wondered how it has become the duty of the US and other European countries to help fix a political party in Nigeria.
He asked if it was the fault of anyone that “Damagum and his gang of political undertakers” refused to act in accordance with the constitution of the PDP.
The court ruled last week Friday, that PDP must conclude some processes, including outstanding State Congress before holding any National Convention.
Rather than coming back home to take proper stock and bring all stakeholders together, they chose to announce the suspension of major members of the NWC, including the National Secretary, who’s the only person authorized to issue notice of meetings.
Before then, they went to court to throw punches over legal representation of the party, despite that it is clearly stated in the constitution of the party that it is only the National Legal Adviser that has powers to represent or appoint lawyers to represent the party in court cases.
So, how is the consequences of their impunity the business the US or anyone?
