Governor Peter Mbah says he fully stands by the position of the National Working Committee, South-East zonal executive committee and the board of trustees on the PDP crisis.

Mr Mbah disclosed this after a closed-door meeting with Governor Seyi Makinde, the chairman of the PDP BoT, Adolphus Wabara and the South-East zonal chairman, Ali Odefa, among others, in Enugu on Sunday.

The governor expressed support for the National Executive Committee meeting of the PDP scheduled for June 30. 

He said while he was still a member of the PDP, he was “simply fed up with the shenanigans that had, more or less, made the party an endless circus.”

Mr Mbah insisted that the position of the South-East of the PDP to review its future with the party if its stand on the issue of the National Secretary was not honoured remained sacrosanct.

“For the record, just as I stated during my interactive session with Fellows and Members of the Nigerian Guild of Editors in Enugu at the weekend, I am still a member of the PDP,” he said.

The governor stated that the PDP South-East zone reserved the right to reconsider its membership in the party if the party was unwilling to put its house in order.

According to him, that was invariably the position adopted during our last South-East zonal meeting held here in Enugu.

“During that meeting, the caucus noted that the party should not disregard the zone’s stand regarding the National Secretary position.

“To all intents and purposes, this has obviously not been the case. So, there is no doubt as to where I stand on the matter,” Mr Mbah said.

He stated that the position of the South-East concerning the national secretary position of the party as issued in that communique was “sacrosanct”.

Other PDP chieftains at the meeting included the former national chairman of the party and BOT member, Okwesilieze Nwodo; Sam Egwu, Iyom Josephine Anenih, Ben Obi, and Udeh-Okoye.
