Rivers State Chairman of the PDP Hon Felix Obuah says the Party will no longer tolerate deliberate acts of indiscipline and disrespect to the party by any of her members in the state no matter the office he occupies or the social status of such erring party member.
The PDP Chairman, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media Jerry Needam, said the decision was taken against the backdrop of recurring unguided utterances and actions by certain members of the party who he said are bent on dragging the good name of the party to the mud and, creating disaffection between the party and the general public.
According to the party, while the leadership is making frantic efforts to make sure the raging internal political crisis in the state is checkmated and ensure that all aggrieved members are peacefully reconciled, certain members of the party notably, Senator Magnus Abe, Hon Andrew Uchendu, Hon Dakuku Peterside and some others are busy throwing spanners into the wheel of progress through unguarded statements and divisive actions.
The party reminded such members of the provisions of Article 9 of the party’s constitution which forbids all members from any act that will portray the party in bad light, including publishing or distributing to the media, any material which purports to be the view of any faction or tendency within the party etc.
Hon Obuah warned that the party under his leadership will not hesitate to use the big stick on any erring member who refuses to refrain from such anti-party activities or propaganda detrimental to the party, which he said include referring such cases to the Disciplinary Committee for appropriate action in line with party rules and regulations.
“We therefore enjoin all our party members to be wary of the temptation to challenge the supremacy of the party, as not heeding this advice certainly carries dire consequences”, he said.
