The Conference of Professionals in the Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) has demanded that the PDP leadership takes a drastic action to save the party from implosion by immediately imposing sanctions on members engaged in subversive activities against it.
The Conference has similarly urged the party’s National Disciplinary Committee to accelerate its proceedings on all petitions pending before it for necessary action.
The CD-PDP said these in a statement on Thursday by its Protem National Coordinator, Barr, Obinna Nwachukwu in Abuja.
The CP-PDP observed that the delay by the party leadership to invoke its statutory powers and impose necessary sanctions on subversive members as provided for under Articles 57, 58 and 59 of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) is further emboldening anti-party activities, including damaging litigations, claims and divisive utterance which have the capacity to destabilize the party and destroy its electoral value to the detriment of Nigerians.
According to CD-PDP, “As professionals and patriotic members of the PDP, we posit that our party, which is the party of choice across the country, should not be allowed to be debilitated by the ambition and subversive activities of a few individuals who obviously no longer subscribe to PDP’s core values, shared vision of selflessness and pursuit of a better Nigeria.
“The CP-PDP again commends the governors elected on the platform of the PDP for standing for the party at this critical time while reassuring all patriotic members, lovers of democracy and Nigerians in general that the PDP remains united, indivisible, solid and will definitely come out of the current challenges stronger than ever before”, the conference said.
