A former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido has asked members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to resignif they do not have the nerve to protect Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

Lamido, a member of the board of trustees of the party, in a message on his Facebook page, berated the leadership of the party for being docile in the face of intra-partywrangling in Rivers and urged them to immediately rise up to the occasion.

The former Foreign Affairs minister also told Governor Fubara not to honour the eight-point resolution of the peace brokered by President Bola Tinubu, adding that the party leadership should be embarrassed by the way and manner they allowed the president to meddle in what should be a party matter.

He also questioned whether the PDP has a National Working Committee, “Or better still, do we have a party called PDP?”

He wondered why there is a total absence of the PDP leadership in the saga playing out in the PDP family in Rivers, asking “Is the docility of the leadership of the PDP so comatose to the extent that President Tinubu of APC, our sworn rival and opponent is now the grand patriarch of PDP?

“It is inconceivable that a political party will simply sit back and allow its fortunes taken over by a rapacious scavenger, the APC. What President Tinubu did in the so-called peace meeting is not brokering peace in Rivers State, but using his office to enhance the fortunes of his political party. (Daily Trust)
