The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ini Ememobong, has declared there is no faction in the party.
Naijaonpoint reports that Ememobong, during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Brief’ on Friday, stated that there are, however, a few individuals who are unhappy with the general direction of affairs in the party.
According to him, it’s factional member, Samuel Anyanwu, lacks the capacity to convene a meeting to take action against the PDP’s former National President, Umar Damagun.
He said, “It starts from bottom up, and the legitimacy flows therefrom. So when you ask yourself, which is why it’s not solid to say that there’s a faction.
“It’s just a few persons who who are not happy with the general flow of things. And that’s what democracy is, the majority will have their way while the minority will have their say.
“When you look at even this gentleman called Samuel Anyanwu and ask him, on what authority could he have convened a meeting that would have sacked Damagun, you see that he falls flat in the face.
“And so when you look at the fact that the staff of the party, you look at the fact that the ex official, who were elected long before are under the control of the state chairman of the party.”
