Olisa Metuh
By SaharaReporters, New York
The party said it would deal with any of its members who ridiculed or portrayed the party as incapable of disciplining its members.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisah Metuh, who spoke after the weekly meeting of the party’s National Working Committee, said that the party would deal with any of its members who violate its constitution.
He said, “The NWC exhaustively discussed and frowned at the disagreeable trend where members of the party elected and appointed into federal positions engage in utterances and actions that portray the PDP in bad light and as having no unity of purpose.
"We wish to emphasize that our manifesto as well as our constitution is abundantly clear on the need for all party members, especially the elected representatives of the people to be on the same page at all times in order to ease the realization of our policies and programs for the benefit of the people.
“We therefore warn that the party will invoke the full weight of its disciplinary measures on any erring member who further brings the party to disrepute.”
His comment was a veil reference to the attack on President Goodluck Jonathan when he went to the National Assembly to present the 2013 budget.
The Senate President, Senator David Mark said the Senate and the entire members of the National Assembly would not be used as rubber-stamp for the budget, which described as ‘mere estimate.’
Also, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mallam Aminu Tambuwal lambasted the President and the Federal Government for poor implementation of the 2012 budget.
He also told the President that the House would not abide with the $75 per barrel benchmark the FG used prepare the budget.
