FALLOUT OF THE CTC RECOMMENDATIONS:

EIGHT ELECTED WARD CHAIRMEN FROM SIX LGA'S FILED COURT CASES AGAINST PLATEAU STATE CTC AND THE NATIONAL WORKING COMMITTEE


Leadership crisis bedevilling the People Democratic Party, PDP might seem not to be over with the recommendations of the Care-taker Committee, CTC that nullified nineteen (19) Wards Chairmen election.

In a bid to resolve the lingering crisis, which emanated during its congresses which led to the setting up of the Caretaker Committee by the National Working Committee of PDP, the CTC had invited the Ward Chairmen including those that contested to a meeting and thereafter nullified the election of eight out of nineteenth elected ward chairmen. 

Dissatisfied with the decision of the CTC, the affected Wards Chairmen mobilize their supporters and went to the party office to demand the reasons for the nullification of the election in their respective Wards and the decision to conduct a fresh election even when they are yet to be served with any petitions against them. At the state party secretariat they, however, met the chairman of the CTC sub-committee, Hon Mike Dapianglong, and the Organizing Secretary who addresses them, informing them that the meeting will not hold again because of a directive from the NWC of the party, these did not go down well with the ward chairmen who had travelled from far. 

Consequently, the alleged PDP ward chairmen who were dissatisfied with the arrangement decided to file a petition in the state High Court to seek redress.

They are, however calling on those concerns most especially the CTC to intervene in order not to allow the party to go back to the dark days of numerous litigation
