Ex-Gov Ibrahim Shema Threatens To Leave PDP
Former governor of Katsina state , Alhaji Ibrahim Shehu Shema, has threatened to leave the PDP and he has given the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party 48 hours to rescind the decision to suspend him or henceforth consider him as an ex-member of the party.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned Shema has also asked the NWC to disband what he called the ‘PDP illegal caretaker committee’ in Katsina state and recognize the ‘duly elected’ executive committee in the state.
In a letter dated March 24, 2023 and addressed to the National Chairman of the party, former senator Iyorchia Ayu, Shema noted that failure to rescind decisions on the two issues he had raised, the letter should serve as his formal and official withdrawal of membership from the PDP effective from Saturday, March 25, 2023.
‘I cannot therefore continue to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under Dr. Iyorchia Ayu ,who is duty bound to preserve, protect and defend our constitution within his limited powers.
It is in the light of these developments that I make the following appeals: Rescind the National Working Committee (NWC) decision of unlawful dissolution of Katsina State duly elected Executive Committee and allow them to complete their tenure and disband the purported caretaker committee similar to which so many court decisions in the land have illegalized.
Rescind the National Working Committee’s decision in respect of my suspension as a member of our party within the next Forty-Eight (48) hours.
Take notice that failure to effect these two changes above within Forty-Eight (48) hours, this letter serves as the formal and official withdrawal of my membership from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) effective from Saturday 25 March 2023’ Shema submitted.
It will be recalled that the PDP had earlier in the week asked Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state to appear before a Disciplinary Committee while getting Fayose, Shema, Anyim and others suspended from the party- Team@orientactualmags.com
