PDP states position on assualt by member, Senator Elisha Abbo; Senate decisionPublished on July 3, 2019 By Wale Odunsi<\/p>\n
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to a CCTV footage relating to allegations of malfeasance against a senator elected on the platform of the PDP, Senator Elisha Abbo.<\/p>\n
Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary, in a statement on Wednesday, said the PDP, as a law-abiding and upstanding party, detests and completely condemns such act of lawlessness and callousness as exhibited in the video and will never condone it.<\/p>\n
He stated that investigation has been launched into the matter and has summoned the lawmaker.<\/p>\n
According to Ologbondiyan, \u201cOur party is also shocked that the harmless victim of the unprovoked assault is said to be a nursing mother, who ought to be protected.<\/p>\n
\u201cThough this is a personal conduct of an individual which has no bearing with the culture of our party, the PDP however holds that no responsible person will condone such an attitude.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the light of this, the NWC has commenced investigation into the matter and summons Senator Elisha Abbo in line with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP and code of conduct of our members.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the same vein, the party has taken note of the immediate action taken by the Senate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PDP, at all levels of engagement, is reputed for her utmost respect and commitment towards the rights, safety and wellbeing of our citizens, particularly our women and cannot tolerate any callous assault on any Nigerian.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PDP therefore assures Nigerians that it will always stand on the side of justice and will never spare a thought in taking action on any of its members found wanting, particularly those elected or appointed into public offices.\u201d<\/p>\n
