Member Representing Langtang South in the Plateau House of Assembly Hon Bendal Nancwat Domfa, at the weekend described his purported suspension from the All Progressive Congress (APC) at his Local Government Council as laughable.
He also described as unconstitutional the planned suspension stressing that it was orchestrated by “anti-democratic forces masquerading as the Executives of the APC at his LGA.
Hon Bendal Domfa also described those who announced his suspension from the APC in Langtang South as ” bunch of comedians and pretenders”.
His reaction was contained in a statement made available to journalists in Jos and signed by Hon Solomon Nandul his aide .
‘I have never been involved in any anti party activities’, he said.
He described the recent media attacks on him as the handwork of political jobbers and detractors who are seeking undue political attention.
He said those who are plotting to suspend me from the Party have demonstrated complete undemocratic and anti-constitutional behaviour which has rendered its uncharitable pronouncement purportedly suspending me as null and void and of no consequence whatsoever.
“In the light of the above abysmal development, I wish to use this medium to beseech all my teeming supporters, loyalists and numerous party faithful in Langtang South and Plateau State and beyond to remain calm in the face of this latest ridiculously irrational charade and unbecoming action by anti-democratic, ‘gestapo – fascists’ and forces of darkness, masquerading as party officials in the Local government.
“I am not distracted, but rather committed to bringing development to my constituents,
I would continue to partner with all stakeholders to ensure that massive development is brought to my people.
Those miscreants calling for my suspension are the ones that the APC should have suspended a long time ago from the Party because of their alleged fraudulent activities in the party.
They diverted the whole money sent by our party for the governorship election in Langtang South for their personal gain causing the party colossal loss.
They said ,since their principal lost his election for the federal house of Representatives.
They collaborated with some LGA party leaders, and never called for any party meeting for about a year. It took me to call for a congress meeting where i gave N2,000,000 to encourage and calm members in preparation for the recently concluded Local Government elections.
They also did not disclose the N1,000,000 our Distinguished Sen. Simon Lalong gave as support to party members for the just concluded Local Government elections elections.
It was the Senator’s aide who later disclosed that the gave 1 million naira support to each of the six local governments areas in the southern zone.
These same people also hijacked the deligates form which I bought for all those who aspired for positions in the party, but they hid the forms and single handed wrote and submitted names of party excos to say impunity and its associated consequences at its peak. I can go on and on, their attrocities against APC is endless.
They do not have any moral justification to suspend me and others, said the lawmaker.
” I would always continue to put the interest of my people and Plateau first in all my dealings”, Hon Bendal pledged.
