PDP crisis: Kashamu calls for emergency NEC meeting
Senator Buruji Kashamu has appealed to stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to call for an emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting to iron out the contentious issues and put an end to the party's leadership crisis currently bedeviling the party.
Senator Kashamu, in a position paper made available to newsmen Tuesday, said : "we cannot use illegality to solve the problem of the party."
Kashamu said because of the 'contradictory' pronouncements coming from the various divisions of the Federal High Court, it is clear that the courts may not be able to resolve the issues in a manner that will ultimately work out for the greater good of the party.
He said his intervention is not about anybody or group of persons, stressing that he has nothing to do taking sides with Senator Ali Modu Sheriff or Senator Makarfi who are both laying claims to the national leadership of the party, as both leaders have contributed to the well-being of the PDP.
"I suggest that we needed to call a NEC meeting where we could right the wrongs in order to preempt mischievous elements or the opposition who could use some disloyal members of the party in the nearest future, to question the outcome of the National Convention.
"I averred that we may be building the party on a foundation of illegality by appointing a National Caretaker Committee who will conduct the affairs of the party that will lead to another convention from where new officers of the Party who will subsequently conduct the National Convention in which the presidential candidate would be elected.
"That trend is dysfunctional, dangerous and ominous. To build our party on a solid and sure foundation, we must get rid of illegality and impunity. Today, the realities that stare us in the face affirm my position, making it more compelling," he said.
