PDP Would Explore Lawful Avenues to Bring Its Erring Members to Book – Gov. Tambuwal
The Director General of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign organization, Aminu Tambuwal, has said before taking action against the G-5 governors, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is patiently waiting for them to select their chosen candidate in the next 2023 presidential election.
The Sokoto state governor stated this on Friday, through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Muhammad Bello,
He noted that PDP respects the law, and would explore lawful avenues to bring any of its erring members to book.
Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the governor of Rivers state, yesterday urged those threatening to oust him from the party to go ahead and attempt it if they can.
Wike who is heading the group stated that he is unconcerned by the possibility of expulsion, but he questioned why those who want to do so are showing signs of fear rather than carrying out their threat and seeing if they can withstand it.
However, Tambuwal said: “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will respond to the antics of five of its Governors currently being speculated to be in political dalliance with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“For hours before his remarks, there have been reports that the G-5 PDP Governors led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has been meeting with Tinubu in London on the possibility of their teaming up to work for his victory in the forthcoming presidential elections.
“According to Governor Tambuwal, who is also the Director General of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign organization, the PDP is a law-abiding party; and it would explore lawful avenues to bring any of its erring members to book.
“It is not a war of attrition. I always submit that in this business, whatever it is that you are doing, even if you try to hide it, it will come out. You cannot plan and execute a political project in your bedroom. You must come out with it.
“So, when my colleagues resolve on what to do, I think it is then that the party will now respond on whatever position they have taken.”
