NGF saga: A political party without internal crisis is dead – Ndoma-Egba

Senate Leader, Chief Victor Ndoma-Egba, SAN, has stated that the ongoing crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, following the controversial Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, election, was an indication that the ruling party was still alive.

Ndoma-Egba, who stated this while speaking with newsmen in Abuja on the crisis tearing the PDP apart, especially as it concerns the Rivers State chapter that was fuelled by the victory of Governor Chibuike Amaechi in the NGF election, saying that a political party that does not have internal crisis was dead.

He said, “When you don’t have crisis in a political party, it means that the party is dead. A living party should anticipate crisis, the important thing is that do you have the mechanism of resolving the crisis and I say yes.

“The PDP has the mechanism for resolving the crisis than what we are seeing now and all the crisis in the past were resolved and I believe that we have the resilience and the facility to resolve crisis as they confront us and this will not be an exception.”

The Senate Leader said that the Nigerian Constitution made provision for everybody to associate, adding that, “the Constitution allows them to come together as an interest group,so they are at liberty to associate under whatever law.”

On the alleged interference of the governors on national matters, he said, ”I wouldn’t know. You know I’am in the legislature.”

Ndoma-Egba averred that the crisis in the ruling party will not affect the party in the upcoming elections and that the rumour that the opposition parties could cash-in on that to dislodge PDP was incorrect.
