Posted by Former Senate President Senator Adolphus Wabara will likely have to defend certain recent utterances attributed to him to a disciplinary committee set up by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State.
The committee will be inaugurated following a meeting of the party’s State Working Committee (SWC), according to Abraham Amah, Vice Chairman and acting Publicity Secretary of the Abia PDP.
Amah, who made this public in Umuahia during a live broadcast on Flo 94.9 FM, stated that Wabara, who is currently acting chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), should utilize the opportunity to apologize to the party for making utterances that could bring ‘collateral harm’ to the name of PDP.
The PDP Vice Chairman acknowledged that the former Senate President was free to express his own views on the state and national levels of administration, but warned that doing so could cause harm to the PDP.
A disciplinary commission will be established at the upcoming meeting of the State Working commission. Amah pledged that he would report him to the disciplinary board.
He went on to say that the only way the party would forgive Wabara for his allegedly careless comments would be for him to apologize to the disciplinary committee.
He said the Abia PDP would not accept the former Senate president’s assertion that he was misquoted by the media unless the senator gave an explanation and apologized in person.
In a recent statement, the Abia PDP denied that former Senate President Oby Ezekwesili had endorsed Governor Alex Otti for reelection.
Abraham Amah applauded Governor Alex Otti of Abia State for his recent instruction that the Lokpanta Cattle Market in Umuchieze, Umunnochi LGA, should function as a daily market. He did, however, note that Okezie Ikpeazu’s former PDP administration also deserves credit for initiating the daily market format.
In addition, he suggested that Governor Alex Otti hold elections for the 17 LGAs rather than appoint mayors to the councils, as had been speculated in the media.
