… says crisis was induced to destroy party
Adolphus Wabara, Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees BoT, on Monday said the party would continue to survive, despite plans by detractors to destroy it.
Wabara, former Senate President, speaking at the end of the party’s 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja, noted that the current crisis was externally induced to destroy the party
“I have always contended that this party will never die no matter what her detractors feel.
“This party will never die” he reiterated, even as he expressed his appreciation to members of the National Working Committee of the party for coming together once again, believing that Nigerians have enormous faith and hope in PDP.
“We shall survive. The God of politics is in this party. Allah of politics is in this party. For anybody, any other party, to succeed, we have to release our God to bless them. But our God knows that PDP is the beacon of hope for this country.
“What is happening here today will shock so many people. I’m sure they will start planning again to bring problems”, he noted.
He however warned the party’s NWCs not to “allow a crack anymore, because once they see us now coming together, they will say, why?
“What happened? Who is the native doctor? But they don’t believe in God. Where is the native doctor that made this possible? They will start doing something to destabilize us, which we will not agree. So whatever we are doing here today, we are doing because of our service to this nation.”
Damagum in his earlier remarks, said “We’ve all combined in one, we were all together, and we all agree that Senator Anyanwu will continue to act as National Secretary.”
He also announced that the next NEC has been slated for the 23rd of next month.
“At that time, we will be able to convene a proper NEC, where myself and Senator Anyanwu will sign, which is to fulfill the regulatory requirement of INEC in convening meetings.
“So, to our detractors who thought this meeting would go off course or perhaps be the end of the party—the beauty of the Peoples Democratic Party is that it is the only party in this country that has the right to convene a convention,
“As you can see, all our governors attended the meeting; all members of the NWC were on the same page.
