Why we won’t appear before PDP panel-Oyinlola, Baraje Suspended National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola; former Acting National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje; a former National Deputy Chairman of the party, Dr. Sam Jaja; and a former National Vice-Chairman, North West, Ambassador Ibrahim Kazaure, have vowed not to appear before the the party’s Disciplinary Committee headed by Dr. Umaru Dikko. They said even though they had yet to be invited by the Dikko-led Disciplinary Committee, they contended that the panel was not known to the leadership of the party.The suspended members of the party, who spoke through the National Publicity Secretary of a faction of the party, New PDP, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, added that they would not confer legitimacy on the committee with their appearance. The statement said, “Our initial reaction was to ignore these reports since the PDP Constitution does not recognize the existence of the so-called Dikko Committee as due process was not followed in its establishment. Besides, the fact that the committee – if at all it exists – did not have the courtesy to directly invite the accused to appear before it strips it of any atom of seriousness.” For the avoidance of doubt, the New PDP wishes to state unequivocally that neither the aforesaid leaders nor any other nPDP member for that matter will appear before the Dikko Committee either on next week Wednesday, November 27, or at any other date for that matter.“ The committee is an illegality and alien to PDP and its members. It is no our intention to confer legitimacy on such an illegal contraption by self-serving politicians intent on destroying a house the building of which they were not a part.”
