Fani-Kayode has responded to the resignation of the BOT Chairman, Tony Anenih, describing the action as laughable, insisting that All NWC members must resign especially Oladipo and Metuh.
Fani-Kayode, who wondered why the party would single him out when some governors had made earlier calls for the NWC to resign said: “Why did the NWC refuse to ask Niger governor, Babangida Aliyu; Jigawa governor, Sule Lamido to be reprimanded for their comments?
“We are glad that Mu’azu is gone, we called for the resignation of the entire NWC, their action is a reflection of dictatorial tendency of the party.
“We will continue to question until all of them (NWC) resign, they should answer the call of the party members, we don’t want them any longer.”
The Deputy National Organising Secretary, Chief Okey Nnadozie was also asked to appear before it today following complaints against him on the non-remittance of the balance of N2.5 million transport allowance for state chairmen to the recent National Convention.
Oladipo in a the letter had said: “I write to inform you that the National Working Committee is in receipt of disturbing complaint from the Conference of State Chairmen about the non-payment of their transport allowance at the last National Convention. Upon investigation, the NWC discovered that you were in charge of these monies.
“In view of the gravity of the allegation, the NWC invites you to its meeting holding on Thursday, May 21, 2015 by 10.00 am at the NWC Hall, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.”
But reacting to the development, Nnadozie who spoke with Vanguard on telephone disclosed that he was yet to see such a letter and wondered why a letter inviting a National Executive Committee, NEC, member over such serious issues should be channelled through the media. He promised to present himself before the committee.
“I am coming to defend myself; no fund is missing, and it is wrong to leak a letter of invitation to a NEC member to the press. Are they looking for a scapegoat? Is it proper to summon a NEC member on the pages of newspapers?” he asked.
Few hours after taking over as Acting Chairman of the party, Secondus drove to the Presidential Villa where he met behind closed doors with President Jonathan.
The Acting National Chairman arrived the Presidential Villa at about 5.15 p.m. in the company of Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State.
The meeting was still ongoing at press time.
Some party stakeholders, reacted to the development, yesterday.
