By Political Party Drags Buhari To Court Over Parley With APC, PDP
One of Nigeria’s numerous political party, New Generation Party (NGP) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari for attempting to derail democracy by holding a meeting with only two political parties; the All Progressives Congress and People’s Democratic Party.
According to the National Chairman of the party, Yakubu Shendam the meeting held with the two major parties on Friday is secretive and described it as a desperate move.
Shendam, who is the newly elected National Publicity Secretary of Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC)
wondered why the President failed to invite other political parties which are over 40 to the meeting at the Presidential Villa on Friday.
“The secret meeting between the two political parties is a clear indication that APC and PDP are birds of the same feather,” he said.
“We are consulting to seek redress in court over the unholy alliance of the APC and PDP to share states ahead of the 2019 elections.
“Clearly, the disposition of the national chairmen of the PDP; Senator Ahmed Makarfi and Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, at the Presidential Villa says it all that the internal fighting between Sheriff and Makarfi’s faction was a struggle for who to superintend over the sharing formula.
“We find the decision to call a secret meeting between the APC and the PDP undemocratic, unreasonable and suspicious. We, therefore condemn it in its entirety,” he said
