The Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau state has suspended three erring party members for conducting themselves in a manner inimical to the progress of the party in the state.
The committee’s publicity secretary, Hon. Emmanuel Goa’r, disclosed the development to reporters at the party secretariat in Jos. He said the three party members, identified as Hon. Vincent Wadung, Moses Dung Nyam, and Kenneth Dung, are expected to face a disciplinary committee.
Goa’r said in as much as the Caretaker Committee is saddled with repositioning the party ahead of the State Congress slated for Saturday, the committee is duty-bound to maintain discipline among members in line with the party’s constitution.
“In the course of our assignment as the Caretaker Committee, we faced myriad of challenges and were able to overcome them. PDP is a well-structured political party, it has the constitution guiding its operations. And that is why the party is quite different from any other political party and the reason why the party is still standing.
“For this reason, three members of the party namely Hon. Vincent Wokdung, Moses Dung Nyam, and Kenneth Dung all of which are from Jos South Local Government Area have been suspended.
“They have received their letters of suspension, they are to face disciplinary committee”, he said.
Speaking on the state congress slated for Saturday, Hon. Goa’r said issues raised before the formation of the Caretaker Committee have been resolved, adding that all stakeholders have all agreed to put the past behind them and work for the progress of the party.
“Some of these issues that led to litigations which include no screening of aspirants before the last aborted state congress have been taken care of. Names of all aspirants will be displayed, we want to display a transparent approach and there is going to be transparency,” he added.
He further disclosed that the party’s National Secretariat has extended the sales of forms to give every party member equal opportunity to contest.
