We have read from some of the national dailies of the alleged summoning
of the PDP National Secretary, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola; nPDP National
Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, National Deputy Chairman, Dr.
Sam Sam Jaja, and the National Vice-Chairman, North West, Ambassador
Ibrahim Kazaure, by the PDP Disciplinary Committee said to be headed by
Second Republic Minister, Alhaji Umaru Dikko.
Our initial reaction was to ignore these reports since the PDP
Constitution does not recognize the existence of the so-called Dikko
Committee as due process was not followed in its establishment. Besides,
the fact that the committee – if at all it exists – did not have the
courtesy to directly invite the accused to appear before it strips it of
any atom of seriousness.
