A crisis is brewing in the Plateau state chapter of the People Democratic Party (PDP) as the National Assembly caucus members from Plateau southern zone have alleged a plan to recognized one Funturu Domnan as the PDP chairman of Langtang south Local Council.
Investigation revealed that stakeholders from Langtang South had complained that congress was not held in Langtang South LGC due to security reasons yet shockingly a name was purportedly filled in a form as the winner of the election that did not hold.
It was further revealed that the caucus has expressed dismay over a letter written by one Abdul Ningi giving reason why one Funturu Domnana should be recognized as the chairman of PDP Langtang South.
A statement by Mr. Nanbol Joseph and made available to the media stressed that this was totally unacceptable to them as the reasons enumerated in the letter of Sen. Abdul Ningi to state party chairman do not reflect the true position of what happened regarding the chairmanship position.
Sen. Abdul Ningi’s member national caretaker committee for organization and mobilization in a letter addressed to the party chairman in the state Hon. DT Sango said the facts on ground do not justify the conduct of a fresh council congress in Langtang South.
According to the letter, “the way forward is to appeal to stakeholders to close ranks, build a team spirit and rally round the LGC executive in an effort to move the party forward in the area.”
Sango had in a letter addressed to the acting national chairman of the party through the national organizing secretary requested that a fresh council congress be conducted for Langtang South PDP executive committee.
The caucus also strongly advice that no individual should be recognized as the party chairman for Langtang South Council until investigation has been conducted and completed adding that they will not accept any imposition unless the right thing is done.
Nanbol Joseph therefore appeal to the national secretariat of the party to as a matter of urgency to draw the attention of PDP state chairman of Plateau state who is alleged to have being in possession of a letter seeking to confirm one of the contestant Funturu Domnan not to do so for the sake of peace and equity in the area.
