By PDP Spokesperson.
The spokeman of the PDP Aspirants in Plateau State Hon Emmanuel Macham has exonerates its members from rumours peddle round that his group are plotting for the disqualification of the party candidates at all levels including the 2023 general elections or plotting for a Zamfara scenario in Plateau State.
He said our mission is to correct the maltreatment and injustice that was hatch on us,we absolutely have no issues whatsoever against any lawful candidate of the party emerging through wrong or right process at the moment and equally don’t have the capacity to replicate Zamfara scenario here in Plateau.
The rumours is an imagination of mischief makers.
Prior to what is happening and the 29th, August 2020 charade call state Congresses.
I personally had a phone conversation with the Executive Chairman of Lantang North LGA Hon Joshua Laven Ubandoma,after the conversation he agreed to meet with aspirants from our side,as one of the leaders in the party.
He actually visited us,interracted and listing to all the issues we had in contention,he personally acknowledge that germane errors had been done and promise to bring members of his committee that was set up by Yakubu Chocho led caretaker committe to interface with us.
He actually fullfil his promise on 2nd,July 2020, by Meeting us with his committee members,which includes respected elected members of our party among them was Hon Dachung Musa Bagos,Member Representing Jos South/Jos East in the National Assembly and members of the state Assembly, Hon Timothy Dantong,Hon Bala Fwanje,Hon Esther Dusu and other non elected members of the committee
First of all,we vehemently objected to the membership of the committee, among them were campaign Director generals of several Aspirants to the state Congresses from there side as Congresses committee members,e.g Hon Dio Lamu from Mikang LGC,was the campaign Director of Hon Chris Hassan and was a member of the state Congresses commitee,Hon Monday Kassa was the campaign DG of Mr Akans and a member of the state Congress committee among several others.
To us the Congresses was already compromised and rig,we again told the committee that,with Hon Mike Dachom as the committee Secretary, free and fair Congresses can’t be guarantee. This few scenario was surprising to us and should be to every geniune lover of the party.
we raised our objection to it and agreed to speak with our elected members who are members of the committee.
Secondly,we complain directly to our elected Representives for taking side in the beginning of the crises that engulf the party,we condemn in strong terms their involvement at various stages,it was never good as leaders of the party among several other issues that were raised at the meeting.
Interestingly,the list displayed by the Hon Ubandoma’s committee had several Aspirants from our side omitted, about (26) Aspirants who genuinely obtained forms from the National headquarters weren’t in the purpoted list.
Hon Musa Bagos said and I quote”this issues you raised today,I have never heard of them,but I want to assure you,that I’ll convey them exactly as the are back to my colleagues,it is a very terrible infringement on human rights,if my colleagues insist on going ahead with the Congresses I’ll tender my resignation letter from this committee”
We are yet to hear from him.
To be fear to some extent”to my mind” the Hon Laven Ubandoma’s committee,made up of elected members, tried to ensure must of the grey areas are resolve before any Congress can be announced on the Plateau.
Few days later, information filtered to us that some member of the National working committee of our party of Plateau extraction were very angry and dissatisfied with the Ubandoma Lavens committee for tolerating us and even having any interaction with us.
That Hon Mike Dachom was drafted and made the Congresses committee Secretary to perfect every unconstitutionality that was already done, that if Ubandoma isn’t careful?he will be relieve of the appointment.
The unvarified source said all plans have been perfected to staged the state Congresses and the blueprint is in possession of Hon Mike Dachom.
That confirms our early fears in a very genuine way.
The source said all is set for the Congresses and nothing will happen,if we like we can go to hell.
We took several steps including reaching out to our leaders and stakeholders to inform them of our predicament,it will interest party members to note that:
1.
Forms that were mean for every member to purchase at the state Secretariat were hurded.
Funds were raised from 2023 intending Aspirants and elected members amounting to 40million Naira which were use in purchasing the forms and shared to only Yakubu Chocho led caretaker/ Aspirants,excluding us,we had to individually and personally purchase our own from the National Headquarters painfully.
2.
The Chocho led caretaker committe/Aspirants constituted themselves into the Congresses committee, Aspirants screening committe, Congresses appeal panel committe among several other unconstitutional roles and perpetrated one of the world worst undemocratic illegal Congresses and have been struggling to legalized it.
3.
We were again confronted with insults,names calling and other inhuman treatment by the Chocho led caretaker/Aspirants committe at different stages.
No wonder their defends council submitted to court that we aren’t members of PDP supprisingly.
Several other respected leaders who attempted to call for causion were label unprinted names on social media and other places by this personalities and the supporters.
4.
We can’t be able to mention how several of our wards results were multilated and illegally change to suit their motives with support of highly place personalities.
Infact the chairman of the LGA Congresses Prof Gidado,who represented the Adamawa state Governor as chairman of the state and LGA Congresses,reschedule LGA Congresses because of the alarming rate of covid 19,and the band place on gathering by the Plateau State Government,to the suprise of many party faithfuls,Hon Chocho led caretaker committe and his click hurriedly arrange some of their friends from neibouring states who came in and staged a suprise LGA Congresses, submitted concocted list to the already arranged and compromised National Organising Secretary.
It has became subject of heavy litigations ongoing in various courts across plateau today.

We wrote several letters to our elected leaders and critical stakeholders, including the national chairman of our party Chief Uche Secondus.
This letters have never been replied or shown any concern from those address to.
It is even suprise the role played by the North Central vice Chairman Hon Dakas Shan in sidelining us.
In the midst of all this predicament,we took the bold step to visit our critical stakeholders and intending Aspirants to inform them of our situation and notify them of our intention to seek legal redress against this injustice meted on us.
Incase if anything should happen in the future nobody should blame us,the result to which has started manifesting.
Many of the Chocho led Aspirants and there supporters mock us, claiming ownership of the Judiciary and dismissing us, as undergoing an exercise in futility,only to make uturn now labelling us as anty PDP etc.
We are undeterred, unshaken and aware that our destination is doing the right thing from all level.
The judiciary is proven to be a place of a common man.
The blessings form our supporters and those in the same page with us from wards,LGA and state is enough motivation,we urge you to count on us,we shall never disappoint you, continue to pray and God will not abandon us.
We can’t be intimidated up to any level they so wish to appeal this fair judgements and others.
It is worthy to note that several other judgements have been pronounce against the party which includes:Jos North,Yelwa Shendam, Panshin among others.
Macham said the road to justice is painfully requiring patience from every genuine member of the party wishing for unity amongs us.
I wish to repeat,this judgement is aim at uniting us for the task ahead,if properly utilize.
The Chocho/Chriss Hassan contraption is aim at dividing us, which can only result into working against each other physically and otherwise as we are sharply divided against each other now he said’.
