14-day Ultimatum: We’ll Never Submit To Impostors

As the 14-day ultimatum given by the factional chairman of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to the national chairman Alhaji Bamanga Tukur to the effect that Governor Murtala Nyako and his teeming supporters should revalidate their membership of the party elapses today, the governor has vowed never to submit himself before a group of impostors who assumed leadership through the back door.

The director of Press and Public Affairs to the governor, Mallam Ahmed Sajoh, made the statement in Government House, Yola, while fielding questions from journalists.

He said the national leadership of the party was doing everything possible to tear the party apart, as such they deemed it right to adopt unconstitutional means to resolve the crisis currently rocking the party in the state.

“The so-called revalidation exercise of membership embarked upon is not constitutionally approved by the party. The supposed registration at the state party headquarters and local government headquarters does not exist in the constitution of the party and I think it is this level of impunity that is trying to tear the party apart; therefore, we cannot see the prospects of a party that ought to be a democratic institution disrespecting the basic tenets of democracy,” he stated

Sajoh said the governor had no business attending such a farcical exercise conducted by impostors who claim to be leaders of the party in the state.
