PDP Crisis: Peace Process Is Dead And Buried – Nyako

Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, has vehemently declared that the peace process in the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has been killed and buried with the latest development in the party.
He said that suspending key members of the Abubakar Baraje-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party by the Bamanga Tukur’s leadership was aimed at burying the peace effort initiated by the G7 and President Jonathan.

Recall that PDP had on Monday suspended the factional chairman of the party, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje, the party’s National Secretary, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, and Senator Ibrahim Kazaure.
He further declared that it was an extreme dangerous decision taken by the Tukur’s leadership, having discarded a legitimate court order to reinstate Oyinlola. He said the action had “killed and buried” the peace process.

Nyako, in a statement through his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Ahmad Sajo, asserted that so long as Tukur remains the party Chairman, nothing good would come out of the ongoing reconciliation effort.
He said, “We always knew there was no peace process. The peace process is dead and buried. The court had given them a soft landing but instead of obeying the court order, look at the step they have taken.
“It’s an ill wind that will blow nobody any good. We know that they are not committed to peace; Bamanga Tukur will lead this party to destruction.

“The President should think of the legacy he will leave behind and not allow himself to be led astray by people like Tukur.”

In a presentation at a briefing with members of the Bishops and Emminent Clerics Forum of Nigeria, Niger-Delta Chapter, in Yola, Nyako declared that PDP was no longer in his mind.
Nyako said, “Let me quote one statement in one of our Great Books, the Holy Bible; ‘Can two walk together except they be agreed to do so?'

“We, in Adamawa State have resolved not to ‘walk together’ with massive wrongdoers and cannot tolerate impunity and lawlessness by the national leadership of any political party located in Abuja, because that would be tantamount to inviting chaos and anarchy to our beloved state.

“We cannot and shall not ‘walk together’ with the evil-few of Adamawa indigenes with their cohorts residing in Abuja who wish us ill, calamity and destruction.

“These are the same fellows who must have brought about the declaration of state of emergency on Adamawa State six months ago and the renewal of the emergency rule a few days ago.”
