The former Chairman of Langtang North and former Member Representing Langtang Central At Plateau State House of Assembly and the People Democratic Party, PDP, Hon Nandom Ishaku Pennap has disclosed that the tenure of Chocho as exco has already expired, adding that both of them should put aside their weapons of hatred by working together to strengthen the People Democratic Party ,PDP, from total collapse.
He said, the last Wards, Local Government Areas congresses has been described as the worst congresses conducted in the history of elections held in Nigeria because party men didn’t adhere strictly to the tenets of democracy.
Pennap disclosed this to our correspondent at his residence in Rayfield, Jos South Local Government of Plateau State on Thursday.
He said, “honestly the last Ward congresses is the worst elections ever conducted in the history of congresses in plateau state, in a situation where someone sit down write the list of 9 out of the 17 LGAs they just wrote names and that is why they are now challenging it in court.”
He said, “however, they just messed up the whole system with selfish agenda; we are not ready to join issues with them but to ensure that our coming on board was to sanitize the entire damage done to conduct peaceful and credible elections.
Nandom explained that he hasn’t been on the run, he said; “I’m a true party man, I can’t be on the run most of them know my house and they even have my phone number those who don’t know about me should find out.
In politics there are several ways of conflict for some of them telling us that we just constituted ourselves into exco, Nandom exo pennap said, it was the stakeholders who sat down and came up with names where my name emerge from them, adding that General JT Useni is not aware of this list.
He reiterated that after the expiration of the tenure of the present exco the stakeholders brought the list of care taker committee to save the soul of the party as he said, because we want justice and we are fighting for justice melted on the aggrieved members of PDP.
According to Pennap, his interim Exco didn’t come to exchange blames with any group but to ensure that the right thing is done by conducting elections to usher in brand new exco that would pilot the affairs of our greatest party.
He said to me today, “if the national secretariat wake up and decide that we are illegal, we are prepare to step down from the office to allow peace to reign but in a situation where some of them insist that they want to remain in that by constituting themselves into nuisance going about begging and claiming we are fighting is not right.
Nandom lamented that every one of them know me I’m not going about soliciting for assistance anywhere from any individuals, but I was nominated by stakeholders to conduct elections.
To be sincere, the national chairman is very aware of the happening in Plateau PDP, I don’t want where we start fighting them, we can’t join words with them because we are all party men who are prepare to resolve our differences between us not allow third party step in.
I believe that by June the National secretariat will step in ahead of Plateau Southern senatorial district bye election to resolve the internal wrangling, we are not at war but this is one family. We are not going to be divided during the election, APC can’t fight PDP because they are formidable team, and we believe this crisis would be resolved amicably so that we can go into election with peace.
Nandom talked about that politics in Tarokland , he said; “if we are sincere to ourselves, Useni is an elderly person, so we need to give him the maximum cooperation just as we all rally round to overwhelmingly gave support to our greatest son late Solomon Daushep Lar of the blessed memory.
He stated that sincerely we can sit down and discuss our differences to find solutions to it and remove selfish agenda to avoid imposing of candidates for people because democracy is a government of the people so they should be allowed to make the choice of candidate of their own.
We are prepared to come together and resolve the lingering crises in Tarokland because Useni insisted that crises most end in our land.
He condemned a situation where people would sit down and handwrite names of people whom they believe are loyal to them, he said it is totally unacceptable and undemocratic practice anywhere in the world.
