The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)on Tuesday disowned one Mr. Ajibola Oluyede, saying it does not represent the party in anyway. A statement by
Barr. Victor Kwon, National Legal Adviser of the party said:
“The attention of the National Working Committee of the PDP has been drawn to a media advertorial in which one Mr. Ajibola Oluyede adduced certain opinions claiming such to be the position of the PDP constitution on some recent developments in our Party.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the National Working Committee of the PDP wishes to state as follows;
“1. That Mr. Ajibola Oluyede has no mandate or authority to issue the said advertorial.
“2. That the position adduced in the advertorial does not in anyway represent or correspond with the position of the Constitution of the
PDP.
“3. That the PDP has a National Legal Adviser whose duties under the Party’s constitution include advising the Party on all legal matters,
conducting all litigation; prosecuting and defending actions on behalf of the Party, including its organs and officials in so far as the
subject of the litigation affects the interest of the party; and interpreting the laws, regulations and Constitution of the Party in the
event of any ambiguities.
“4. We therefore warn all such characters to desist from making public statements and sponsoring publications in any manner whatsoever that
distort the provisions of our constitution and the position of our Party on any issue.”
