… May seek redress in court<\/p>\n

By Olabode Adaramola<\/p>\n

The recommendations by the Senator Bukola Saraki- led reconciliation committee to restore normalcy in the Niger State’s chapter of the Peoples’Democratic Party (PDP)\u00a0 have been rejected by the Barrister Tanko Beji’s – led faction in the state.<\/p>\n

It could however\u00a0 be recalled that the PDP’ State Congress that had two main contenders: Barr. Tanko Beji, the\u00a0 outgoing Chairman of the party seeking a second term, and Alhaji Mukhtar Ahmed was postponed due to violence that stalled the exercise.<\/p>\n

The group,\u00a0 on Thursday in a statement signed by it’s Media Officer, Yahaya Mohammed Usman and made available to newsmen in Minna,\u00a0 said the decision might be tested in a Court of Law to strengthen the party’s Constitution and in obedience to rule of law and democratic tenets.<\/p>\n

According to the Media Officer of Barr.\u00a0 Tanko Beji – led faction, “we find such recommendations as inconceivable, unheard of and cannot stand commonsense nor logic”.<\/p>

“The decision of the former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki -led reconciliation committee that the two contestants for the position of party Chairmanship in Niger State should \u201cstep down\u201d for no reason other than satisfying wishful interest is hereby rejected and if need be, might be tested in a court of law to strengthen the party’s constitution and obedience to rule of law and democratic tenets.<\/p>\n

“The committee which came on board One year after the two contestants; Barr. Tanko Beji and Engineer Muktar Ahmed have purchased and filled nomination forms, cannot ask persons who have purchased PDP forms to contest positions to step aside for no reason”.<\/p>\n

He explained\u00a0 further that “It is even worse when it was clear the target was to stop Barrister Tanko Beji by all means; if you take into accounts that Engr. Mukhtar Ahmed and Dr. Babangida Aliyu preempted correctly the outcome of all the committee\u2019s meetings weeks before such decision was announced and even \u201cleaked it\u201d before Senator Bukola Saraki and other members of the committee at a meeting”.<\/p>\n

“We stand by our position, and if we are to nominate 100 times, we will nominate Barrister Tanko Beji as our Candidate, again and again. Make no mistake”, the statement declared .<\/p>\n

He added that, the nomination can only be overridden or uphold by a free, fair and transparent congress, not a reconciliation committee or any other committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
