A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Honorable Dimeji Fabiyi has reacted to a press conference by five deputy members of the party’s National Working Committee, saying their purported support to the embattled acting National Chairman of of PDP, Ambassador Umar Damagun is of no consequence.
Fabiyi noted that it was unfortunate that the five members of the PDP NWC, who have no votes in the affairs of the party were allowing themselves to be used to destroy the PDP.
The party chieftain made the reaction through a press statement that he made available to the media on Friday in Abuja.
According to him, “the press conference by the five deputy NWC members of the PDP who do not have votes in the NEC and are not sitting members of the NWC is unfortunate. It is unfortunate because they are allowing themselves to be used in the palpable death of the party.”
Fabiyi said further that the declaration of the 5 members is, “not only inconsequential but also lacks common sense and holds no water.”
Continuing, the statement says: “perhaps, they are delusional of their roles in the party’s constitution or ignorant of it . The truth, however, is that they are quite aware that their words have no bite and their vituperations are inconsequential.
“They chose to align with the enemies of the PDP like Damagun and Wike in order to destroy the party.
“In politics , you find all kinds of characters who lack credibility and conscience; they don’t have the love of the party at heart; it’s all about personal selfish interests as being exhibited by Minister Wike , Damagun and the gang.
“Even in those days, when the PDP was in its best elements, the deputies have no significant roles at both NEC and the NWC. They struggle to act when the substantive NWC member is absent. They are more or less like other members of the party.
“But what we have today are individuals who deliberately turn blind eyes to the party’s progress because of self aggrandizement.
“The inconsequential declaration by the NWC deputies is an aberration and insult to the sensibilities of loyal party members – it is not something to be worried about. It is a mere wishful thinking of a house boy who thinks by satisfying his master once, he will be entitled to marry the beautiful daughter of his boss.
“It is obvious that water is gradually drying behind Amb. Damagun hence , the frustration and struggle to mobilise low IQ officials of the party however meaningless their support mighty be to use to his inordinate aspirations.
“Damagun is oblivious of the fact that the death of PDP will first consume him and his gang and their wild aspirations, while their boss, Wike, has secured himself with the APC.,” Fabiyi noted.
