No Faction in Plateau PDP – Honourable Chocho

The chairman of the People’s Democratic Party Caretaker Committee in Plateau State, Honourable Gwott Yakubu Chocho, has warned some ‘rebels’ attempting to cause a crack within the party to desist forthwith as their activities amount to anti party engagagements punishable by the constitution of the Party.
In a statement issued in Jos and personally signed by Honourable Gwott Yakubu Chocho in his capacity as chairman of the caretaker committee of the State PDP, Chocho pointed out that there is “no faction in the Plateau PDP”.
However, he said, “the attention of the State Working Committee of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Plateau State has been drawn to the activities of some members of the Party who have set out on a mission to mislead innocent members of the public by parading themselves as caretaker committee of the party”.
Chocho stated expressly that “for the avoidance of doubt, let me quickly warn this group led by Exodus Pyennap Nandom, that its claims are not only baseless, but are hugely criminal and amount to unmitigated anti party crusade, being an affront on duly constituted authority”.
According to Chocho, “upon the expiration of the tenure of the elected State Executive of the Party on May 10.2020, and given the exigencies unleashed by the deadly pandemic of Covid-19, the National Secretariat of the Party, after due and clear consultations with the National Executive Committee, NEC, and the Party’s Board of Trustees, BoT, approved and directed that the defunct Exco resume thence as caretaker committee in most states of the federation pending Te conduct of state congresses to elect substantive and tenured leadership of the party “.
“Accordingly “, he said further, “both the NEC and BoT endorse, recognize, and regard the caretaker interim arrangements in the various States, and have been cooperating and referring to the committees in all issues relating to, or affecting the Party”.
The Caretaker Committee Chairman revealed that since its inauguration, “there has been no occasion or incident of any “stakeholders” of the Party meeting and naming any committee headed by Exodus Pyennap Nandom as its chairman”.
Chocho also disclosed that “the National Secretariat of our great Party has since communicated the new status quo with the relevant security agencies in the State, and, so far, our state secretariat has been enjoying their cooperation and warm working relationship”.
In a live Radio talk monitored in Jos Monday morning being June 1, member representing Joseph South/Jos East federal Constituency, Honourable Dachung Bagos, disowned and denounced the claims of any other group, and confirmed that the authentic caretaker committee of the PDP in Plateau State is headed by Honourable Gwott Yakubu Chocho as its Chairman.
