We don’t care about Nigerians opinions on Amaechi’s suspension – PDP

Few hours after it announced the suspension of the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday raised an 11-member committee to investigate the petition by some of the party in the state against the governor.

The party also said that the opinions of Nigerian of the public do not matter or influence its decision as a party.

The party also washed its hand off the crisis in the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF), over the latter's election last week, which led to two PDP governors laying claim to the headship of the Forum.

The investigative , according to the party's National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, at a news conference in Abuja, is headed by Joe Gadzama, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN.

Other are Victor Kwon, Inalegwu Onche, Friday Nwosu, Udorji Amedu, Ola Kukuyi, and Wakil Mohammed.

Yusuf Jangwe, Bola Doherty, Tanimu Adamson are also ; while Anicho Okoro is to serve as secretary.

The investigative , which "is expected to handle all matters in connection with NWC decision suspending the governor," was not given any time frame within which to conclude its assignment as Mr. Metuh said it would be announced later.

Suspension not related to Governors Forum

The PDP had, in a statement earlier in the day, announced Mr. Amaechi's suspension over the crisis in the Rivers State chapter of the party.

However, pundits suspect that the governor was suspended because of the crisis in the NGF, whose chairmanship seat he reclaimed after defeating his Plateau State counterpart, Jonah Jang, alleged to have been sponsored by the Presidency and the ruling party.

Mr. Metuh, while responding to questions, debunked the insinuation that the party suspended Mr. Amaechi because of his role in the NGF crisis, saying that the NWC received the report since lastweek and had to act on it on Monday (this week.)

"I can confirm to you that the NWC received this report of the issue last week. The petition we received from the state executive committee of Rivers State is public knowledge," he said.

Mr. Metuh's claim conflicts with that of the party chairman, Bamanga Tukur, who said on Sunday that the Rivers PDP was yet to inform the national secretariat of its crisis with the governor.

The PDP spokesman further justified Monday's emergency meeting to suspend the Rivers Governor.

"We did not wait till after the election. NWC meets on Wednesdays and because next Wednesday is a public holiday that is why we held an emergency meeting today."

"We must refer the petition to a committee and that is why the NWC has set up this committee to handle it."

"The state party did not handle the matter of the governor. They referred it to the NWC to handle. Now we have set up an investigative immediately because of the suspension of the governor, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, from the party pending the outcome of the investigative ," he said.

He said that the party does not have any direct dealing with the NGF, which he described as a non-partisan body and therefore could not have suspended Mr. Amaechi over the controversy trailing the election.

According to him, the PDP is only concerned about the party's Governors Forum led by the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio, which it set up last February, adding that it is only the governors that attended the meeting where the NGF's election held that could speak on the matter.

"Let me state it clearly that the leadership of PDP believes that NGF is a non-partisan body constituted by all governors from all the parties in Nigeria. We do not have direct dealing with NGF," he said.

"The outcome of the election, the reactions, whatever happens we expect the governors who attended the meeting to speak. As a party, we will only concern ourselves with the activities of the PDP Governors' Forum."

We don't care about Nigerians opinions

The PDP spokesman said the party does not bother about how Nigerians view its actions or the impression its action would create in the minds of the public, insisting that the Mr. Amaechi was not suspended over the NGF crisis.

"You do not take a decision because you want to make the public glad but what is in the interest of the party," he said.
He said the party did not commit any procedural error by suspending Mr. Amaechi before setting the investigate , noting that the committee had since been constituted.

Asked if President Goodluck Jonathan, as the leader of the party, was consulted before the was set up, he said the NWC was capable of taking any decision on issues affecting the party.

Mr. Metuh said, "The constitution gives the NWC the right and the discretion to handle the affairs of the party. We have not had any reason to set up a disciplinary committee and investigative committee in the first instance and because this issue has come up under our constitution we must set up a committee to look at it."

He debunked the claim the NWC relied on the party's constitution that has not been adopted by the convention to suspend Mr. Amaechi.

According to Mr. Metuh, the constitution was adopted by the national convention of the party in 2012, noting that when it was taken for printing, there were some spelling and grammatical error which needed to be corrected.
He added that the National Executive Committee, NEC, does not need to ratify what the convention had approved.

Nigerians una see una selves, I voted goodluck & not pdp Your opinions or whatever you think as people doesn't count noe does it affects the decision of the killer's nest..

Of course Nigerians do not give a fucck about the killer party suspending Amaechi. PDP has never cared about the opinions of Nigerians so why now? To hell with PDP and Jonathan!

When ebelechukwu Jonathan himself gives no damn about Nigerians opinion, how much more his ret@rded clueless party...

our opinions has never mattered to the killer party before. meet you dumbskulls at the polls. I pray any of your party agents come to me to campaign I will so bitchslap the person that his/her unborn child/ children will come out deformed.

....we know! PDP should tell us what we don't know. I am happy because when the gods want to destroy a man , they make him deaf and mad. The gods are now on PDP and Jonah's case

You know the interesting thing, ALL the above handles are known ACN noise makers. They've also arrogated to themselves the title 'we Nigerians'.

On one hand, they will tell you that they don't care whether Tinubu handpicked Akerodolu for Ondo elections so far that they have it on record that the same Tinubu also handpicked Fashola. They are now the ones mourning the democratic process playing out in PDP, because democracy and real politicking is alien to them.

Find out what happened to Thambo Mbeki in SA or what is presently happening to Sarkozy in .

*yawn*

ANOTHER VERSION OF "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN"

SHAME ON NIGERIANS WHO WANTS GOOD GORVERNANCE, BUT ARE ALWAYS FAILURE IN DECIDING RIGHT.
SHAME ON NIGERIANS WHO ALWAYS ALLOW SENTIMENTS TO DECIDE THERE FUTURE RATHER THAN OBJECTVITY.

NIGERIANS WILL CONTINUE TO CRY UNTIL THEY ARE READY FOR A TRUE CHANGE.

When has party actions been determined by public opinion polls. Funny thread!

When Tinubu refused to endorse Fashola for second term, why didnt public opinion change his decision? Fashola had to go belle on the floor to beg before Tinubu accepted him. Of course, that came with a price...more stuffing of Tinubu's pockets....

Jonathan manipulated nigerians to vote for him wit his i av no shoes campaign, wonder what he'll say he does not hav com 2015! We nigerians are easily deceived, 2mao is democracy day and afta all dis years we can't point out to one single, successful, reasonable nd meaningful tin our government av achieved, d only tin dey av achieved is embezzlement( cecilia nd co, farouk lawan) corruption... Wonder wat we are gonna be celebrating, dis country is fvked, mayb revolution will b da best option, cos its still d same leaders of over 30years, dat are still recycling, nd directing d affairs ☀̤̣̈̇f dis nation, wtf, ar dey still doin; d buhari's, atiku's, sanjo's...make dem go sit down, d one wey dem chop neva do?

In America for example, politics aint about self interest, its not money motivated, dey see it as service, dey see demselves indebted 2 d nation, nd if a leader fails he is ready to step down, arnold as almost impeached for fathering anoda womans child, but in Nigeria u'll see a governor marrying a teenager nd notin is done.... 10years ago no body would av predicted obama would bcom president, aπϑ since bush left, u can't see im pokenosing, or planning for 3rd term or telling obama what 2 do...d question is What is d future ☀̤̣̈̇f our youths, pple go to skul, graduate, den no job, nd man must survive, d nation isn't helping nd dat is y crime will continue to b on d increase until tins change for beta in dis country....

As for d party, its not smtin new, xcept for d fact that it is d leading party, don't see a damn gud tin bout pdp, make dem enjoy dia power yl it lasts. D party does not care bout our opinions but during election time dey care bout our votes, smh!

Yeye people! If you guys don't care and what we think about your radical approaches, and you don't care about our feelings, well I have good news for you people.

Come 2015, we won't care whether you guys are there or not, we won't care about your sh1t manifestos or fictitious promises, I mean to say we no go vote for PDP. Do you guys understand?

These 200 laptop guys are irredeemable, why must they bring in Tinubu into everything? I bet when you are shagging your wives you think of Tinubu in order to have hard-ons.

As for me and my house its pdp for now. They just can't go run to lose my vote.

ochukoccna:

As long as you are a Nigerian, you are a product of your country-'not a sane country'
God bless Nigeria.

When the warning signal came out that GEJ is tilting towards being a DESPOT i.e A Dictator, we all think its a joke ---- I dey laugh-OBJ

FACTS:
1. The government and its party does not care about Nigerians (only their pockets)
2. PDP hid under flimsy excuses to suspend Amaechi even before making inquiries in to the allegation against him.
3. Nigerians Do Not Give A Dam About PDP!

If a party does'nt care about the welfare and development of a country in the decade and half they've been in power, how do you expect them to care about your opinion? Did'nt they tell you? PDP is bigger than nigeria o! They say they are the biggest party in africa!! Poor nigeria!!;(;(;(

PDP - "Poverty Development Party"




#... Sai APC!!!

Sai Progressives!!!

i dont care about pdp also

Jonathan.... clueless since 1862

3am I can't sleep any suggestions please..

Btw Nigerian politics/government is screwed up just like Obama screwing us up in White House

PDP yeye party; after dem don evict Amaechi and wreck their party in Rivers state, thesame set of people will come up 2 setup a reconciliatory committee to bring him back. Ask Ladoja, Ngige and Gbenga Daniel. PDP is seriously begging on their knees for dem 2 come back. At d end of the whole scenario in Rivers state; PDP will hv a lot to lose. My 2cents!
