A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau, Chief
Alexander Mwolwus, has rejected the constitution of a committee to probe
the party’s misfortunes during the March 9 Governorship election in the
state.
Mwolwus told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Pankshin on Thursday
that the formation of the committee was detrimental to the party’s
collective interest.
NAN reports that the leadership of the party in the state had on
Monday constituted a committee to probe the party’s defeat at the poll.
The party took the decision because it suspected that some of its
members connived with the governing party in the state, the APC, to
ensure its (APC) victory at the poll.
Chief Damishi Sango, the state party chairman, had tasked the
committee to pin-point any member of the party that played any negative
act that led to the defeat of the party by the APC in the election.
But Mwolwus said: “I don’t see any wisdom in the setting up of that
probe committee. This is because a house divided against itself can
never stand.
“Since we have a common goal and fight at the tribunal toward
reclaiming our stolen mandate, that probe can wait till we are through.”
“We can, after succeeding at tribunal, deal with whoever stabbed us in the back during the polls,” he said.
Mwolwus, a former Special Adviser to former Gov. Jonah Jang on
political matters, further said, “our attention is urgently needed at
the tribunal and anything that will distract us must be strongly
avoided”.
