The Taraba State leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
denied knowledge of the return of former governor of the state – Rev.
Jolly Nyame – back to the party he left in 2011.
State chairman of PDP, Mr.
Victor Bala Kona, who addressed some
members of the party from Zing A (I) Ward where the former governor
hails from at the party secretariat in Jalingo, the state capital on
Sunday, observed that Nyame did not follow due process in returning to
the party.
According to him, the occasion which the three-time governor of the
state claimed to have returned to the fold of the ruling party on
Saturday night was a Ramadan breaking of fast; an unsuitable avenue to
gain registration with PDP.
“We are not against the return of Nyame to PDP because our doors are
always widely open to all those interested in our party, but due process
must be followed. Nyame has offended his party members right from the
ward level to the state level by agitating for their removal while he
was still a member of the ACN”, Victor said.
He said both the PDP chairman of Nyame’s Ward, Malam Mijinyawa
Ismaila and his secretary, Alexander Thomas, have both denied
registering the former governor besides, they could not register a new
entrant outside of the party office.
“Nyame is not a small personality and therefore his return should be a
pride to us and be heralded by a big ceremony like is done to other VIP
returnees. We wonder why the former governor prefers to smuggle himself
into the party through the back door”, Victor added.
