PDP National Working Committee disowns Kashamu and associates over Congress

The National Working Committee of People's Democratic Party has been  disassociated from the Congress/inauguration of Ogun State PDP State Excos.

The disclaimer was done through a press release duly signed by the National Chairman of the Party Prince Uche Seconds and the National Secretary Sen. Umar Ibrahim Tsauri, the press release read thus:

"The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic

Party (PDP) has been drawn to some media publication, especially, the online media

concening a purported inauguration of certain unknown persons as State Officers of

the Party in Ogun State on Friday, May 8, 2020

We want to advise members of the public, especially, the teeming members of our great

Party in Nigeria and Ogun State in particular, that the Peoples Democratic Party has not

conducted any congress for the election of the Party officers at any level of the Party:

Ward, LGA Chapter and or State, in Ogun State.

This is in obedience to the interim order made by His Lordship, Hon. Justice Inyang

Ekwo, in Suit No. FCT/AB/ CS/208/2020 on March 4, 2020 directing the maintenance

of the status quo until the hearing of the motion on notice which is still pending on

account of the disruption caused by COVID-19.

The NWC states for the benefit of emphasis that:

1. There is only one PDP, as a political Party in Nigeria whose National

Headquarters is at Wadata Plaza, Plot 1970 Michael Okpara Street, Wuse

Zone 5, Abuja.

It is the sole responsibility of NEC/NWC of the Party to conduct congresses

for the elections of party leaders at all levels of the Party; and

2. No State organ or individual has such power except as may be expressly

donated by the NEC/NWC and same has not been exercised with regards

to Ogun State.

We therefore advise all members of the public and appropriate institutions especially the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ignore any purported elections and or inauguration of any officer of the Party at any level in Ogun State as same is unconstitutional, null and void."
