I am a Member of PDP BOT Atiku Protest as name not in Delegate list

 

The former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has started complaining as his name was not among the delegates lists from Adamawa State chapter of the party for the August 31 Special National Convention of the PDP.

The convection has been schedule to elect some of its national officers, who resigned recently due to irregularities in the last election that brought them to office.

What really make his name to be excluded in the list? Is it trust or ……. Let me not say anything sharrrrr…

According to Atiku in his protest letter, dated July 11, 2013,

He said, “My attention has been drawn to a news report of Monday, July 8, 2013.

“In the said report, the delegates list for the special national convention, submitted by Adamawa State PDP chapter, did not contain my name and further inquiries at the PDP National Secretariat also confirmed the same.

“I have decided to draw your attention to this mistake.”

The former Vice President added that the 53rd meeting of the NEC held on September 15, 2010, approved his waiver.

He explained that it was as a result of the waiver that he participated in the party’s 2011 presidential primary, hence his return to party’s predated the amendment of the party’s 2012 constitution.

He said the omission of his name contradicted section 32, subsection 1 (a) of the party constitution, which states that the membership of the party’s BoT shall consist of “all past and serving Presidents and Vice Presidents of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who held or hold the respective posts as members of the party and who are still members of the party.”

He said as a bonafide member of PDP, he deserved the respect and privileges conferred on the office of the Vice President and founding fathers of the party by the PDP constitution.
