SOUTH SOUTH PDP DISPELS RUMOUR OF PURPORTED DISSOLUTION OF AKWA IBOM AND CROSS RIVER STATES' EXECUTIVES


The South South Zonal Working Committee of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed recent claims credited to the Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Debo Ologunagba, regarding the alleged dissolution of the Akwa Ibom and Cross River States Chapter Executives.


In a strongly worded statement issued on Wednesday, by Prince Etim Isong, Zonal Publicity Secretary of the PDP, South South Zone, the leadership declared that the alleged dissolution was “unfounded and purely fabrications born from his own imagination.”


The Zone emphasized that the purported statement by Ologunagba not only violates due process but also undermines the collective decision-making process of the PDP as enshrined in its constitution.


According to the statement:

"It must be emphasized that the statement on the purported dissolution of constitutionally established Party organs with elected officials within the Zone, without due consultation with the Zonal leadership, highlights not just a critical procedural deficiency but also a breach of established protocols and a disregard for the collective decision-making processes enshrined within the PDP's constitution."


The Zonal Working Committee insisted that, without consultation or approval from relevant party organs, Ologunagba’s pronouncement is “unconstitutional, null, and void, and of no effect whatsoever.”


Reaffirming the legitimacy of the current executives, the statement noted:

"To dispel any ambiguity, the PDP South South Zone reaffirms that the duly elected Executives of Akwa Ibom and Cross River States remain in office, fully empowered to discharge their responsibilities as mandated by the PDP constitution."


The statement further urged party members and the public to disregard Ologunagba’s position on the matter.

"The zonal leadership urges all party members, stakeholders, and the general public to dismiss Mr. Ologunagba's pronouncements as personal opinions that do not reflect the official position of the party's leadership at both National and Zonal levels. The South South Zone wishes to clarify that it was neither consulted nor in agreement with any changes to the Executives of Akwa Ibom and Cross River States Chapters of our great Party."


Expressing dissatisfaction with Ologunagba’s conduct, the Zone accused him of working against the interest of the South South.

"It is of great concern that Mr. Ologunagba continues to conduct himself in a manner unbecoming of a representative of a national party. His recent actions clearly position him as an adversary to the South South Zone. Consequently, he is hereby declared persona non grata within the South South Zone. This statement serves as a symbolic yet potent expression of our disapproval of his tactics, which seek to create tension in our zone and destabilize the Party."


The statement also announced a total breakdown of trust in the National Publicity Secretary:

"We further announce a complete breakdown of trust in the person and office of the National Publicity Secretary of the Party going forward. This action demands that he refrain from all affairs of the zone until the National Working Committee adequately addresses our concerns."


Despite the development, the South South PDP leadership called for calm among party faithful:

"In light of these developments, the PDP South South Zone calls upon all Party faithful to maintain composure and unwavering support for the legitimate Executives of the Party in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States respectively. We must work together to prevent any potential disruption or division within our ranks, understanding that only unity and stability in the face of obvious orchestrations by enemies of the zone are needed to secure our success in the end."


Reiterating its commitment to the party’s values, the statement concluded:

"The PDP South South Zone reiterates its steadfast commitment to upholding the constitution and ensuring the integrity of the party's structures, particularly in our zone, with a view to safeguarding its long-term interests and credibility."
