Ogboru, Keyamo’s Allies Move To Sack Mai-Mala Buni Led CECPC.
The crisis in the Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC was on Thursday swirling towards more troubled waters following legal moves by a faction of the party in the state to sack the Governor Mala Buni led Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.
The faction, GreenWhiteGreen GWG gathered had initiated court processes to sack the Buni CECPC at an Asaba High Court.
The Progressives Movement Against Anti-party Activities in a statement immediately fingered those behind the move to be associates of the Minister of State for Labour Mr. Festus Keyamo, Chief Great Ogboru, the 2019 Delta State APC gubernatorial candidate.
The plaintiffs are basing their case on the judgment of the Supreme Court in the recently decided case in Jegede v Akeredolu.
The chairman of the group, Nurudeen komolafe at a press briefing in Asaba on Thursday said the court moves besides sacking the Buni led national executive is also aiming to declare all actions of the committee illegal.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the Keyamo led group had boycotted the recent ward congresses upon assertions of the legal questions surrounding the exercise.
Displaying copies of the court processes, Nurudeen Komolafe unveiled those behind the court action to be Elvis Ayomanor, Chidi Okonji, Tosan Awani, Amorighoye Sunny Mene, Janet Oyubu, Christopher Agali, Felix Ogbotor Okpako and Denbo Denbofa. He stated further that the above claimants, were all former members of the State Executive Committee that was dissolved by National Executive Committee (NEC) on the 25th June 2020.
The chairman of the group stated further that the claimants who are not members of the present State Caretaker Committee led by the State Chairman Prophet Jones Ode Erue, are well known political acolytes, stooges and supporters of the Minister of State Labour Festus Keyamo and Chief Great Ogboru.
The chairman of the group Nurudeen komolafe accusing the Minister of State Festus Keyamo, disclosed further that the claims in the case were based on the legal opinion the Minister gave in the wake of the supreme court judgment in Jegede v Akeredolu calling for the sack of the Buni led CECPC. According to him, having failed in his initial inglorious attempt to remove the CECPC from office, the Keyamo faction has now resorted to more desperate measures to achieve its plots through the Delta State High Court, Asaba.
Briefing members of the press further, Nurudeen komolafe said; “it has thus become compelling to alert Mr. President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, our highly respected National Chairman His Excellency, Hon. Mai-Malam Buni, the Governors of the APC and all critical stakeholders and true Progressives to the glaring, unabated and bound-to-fail legal war launched against the party and financed by the forces of darkness.”
Komolafe lamented a situation were political appointees of the President are so hell bent in destroying the fortunes of the party.
