PDP crisis: Nigeria governed by laws, not propaganda — 36 States Chairmen

By Luminous Jannamike

ABUJA — Chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory on Monday called on security agencies to investigate what they described as the alleged forgery and distortion of court judgments by a rival group led by Tanimu Turaki, SAN, insisting that ‘Nigeria is a nation of laws, not of propaganda.’

The state party leaders said the dispute had outgrown an internal leadership battle and now threatened respect for the rule of law, public order and the party’s legal identity.

They also sought intervention from the party’s National Working Committee, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike, and former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Speaking in Abuja, Chairman of the PDP Chairmen’s Forum, Hon. Austin Nwachukwu, said the forum was acting ‘not out of bitterness, but out of duty’ to defend the party’s integrity, while Secretary Hon. Babandi Ibrahim Gumel jointly endorsed the petition.
