In the continuous agitations for the sack of members of the Peoples Democratic Party’ National Working Committee, NWC, the secretary, party’s Post-election Review Committee, Senator Walid Jubrin, yesterday cautioned members of the party not to pre-empt the findings and recommendations of the panel.
According to Jibrin, the committee was not set up for the purpose of providing a soft-landing for embattled members of the NWC, advising party members to be patient, as he pledged that his team would discharge its assignment without fear or favour.
He denounced insinuations that other statutory organs of the party were not consulted by the NWC before the Post-election Review Committee was constituted.
He said: “Every right thinking person would first agree that there must be a post-mortem of something that has gone wrong before you identify who has gone wrong. The most important thing to this Committee is its terms of reference and we need to look at it to give our recommendations.
“I don’t expect people to pre-empt what we are going to do. If you say some people have formed this for their own interest, I think you are pre-empting and you aren’t being fair to the PDP.
“Wait and see the outcome of this Committee’s work. As far as we are concerned, we have accepted this 17-man Committee and we have all agreed to be party to this and we will continue (our work).”
Jibrin, who disclosed that the team visited President Goodluck Jonathan, Chairman of Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih, as well as the Senate President, David Mark, to seek their understanding and cooperation, said the party leaders had pledged their support for the panel, adding that his Committee may seek for the extension of the three weeks’ deadline given to it by the party leadership to deliver on its assignment.
It will be recalled that there had been insinuations that the 17-member Committee headed by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, was set up to ward off agitation for the sack of the national chairman of the party, Adamu Mu’azu and his team.
