The Conference of Professionals in the Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) has called for drastic action against PDP members who engaged in subversive activities against the party.

The national coordinator of CP-PDP, Obinna Nwachukwu, made the call in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

Mr Nwachukwu said that it was important that the party’s leadership took a drastic action to save the party from implosion.

He urged the party’s national disciplinary committee to accelerate its proceedings on all petitions pending before it for necessary action.

“The CP-PDP has observed the delay by the party leadership to invoke its statutory powers and impose necessary sanctions on subversive members as provided under Articles 57, 58 and 59 of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017).

“This further emboldens anti-party activities including damaging litigations, claims and divisive utterance, which have the capacity to destabilise our party and destroy its electoral value to the detriment of Nigerians.

“As professionals and patriotic members of the PDP, we posit that our party, which is the party of choice across the country, should not be allowed to be debilitated by the ambition and subversive activities of a few individuals.

“Individuals who obviously no longer subscribe to PDP’s core values, shared vision of selflessness and pursuit of a better Nigeria,” Mr Nwachukwu said.

He commended the governors elected on the platform of the PDP for standing for the party at its critical time.

Mr Nwachukwu reassured all patriotic members, lovers of democracy and Nigerians in general, that PDP remained united, indivisible, solid and would definitely come out of the current challenges stronger than ever.
