•They’re Sponsored By APC To Destroy PDP, Says Metuh

THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national secretariat workers rose ‎from a meeting yesterday in Abuja, calling on all members of the National Working Committee (NWC) to resign immediately.

At a press conference addressed by the workers, which was presided over by the Chairman of the PDP Staff Welfare Association, Ngozi Nzeh, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was also urged to immediately arrest the NWC members for interrogation and prosecution.

But PDP national publicity secretary, in a swift response, described the allegations of funds misappropriation against the NWC, as a set of contrived, baseless and untrue allegations.

Metuh equally alleged that the PDP workers were being sponsored by the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) to destroy the party.

The PDP workers called on influential organs of the party like the PDP governors’ Forum, Board of Trustees, and the National Caucus to send the NWC members on a compulsory resignation.

They lamented: “The Party under the current leadership of Prince Uche Secondus as Acting National Chairman and Professor Wale Oladipo as National Secretary has been systematically and deliberately dismembered and is being led to the morgue in preparation for its final burial.”
  
On the alleged misappropriation of funds, the workers said: “We also call on the anti-graft agencies such as the EFCC, the Police, and ICPC to beam their searchlight on the nefarious activities of the PDP NWC before they finally take the party to the grave yard.”

They added that they had series of relevant documents to proof the allegation of corruption against the NWC members of invited by the EFCC.
