Aggrieved workers of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) are in dilemma over agitation for welfare of its members, following demand for apology by the National Working Committee (NWC).
The PDP NWC reportedly directed the angry workers to write letters of apology and show remorse for their action before they could be listen to by the (NWC).
A source who spoke to BusinessDay on condition of anonymity said: “We have been directed to write letters of apology and copy chairman Board of Trustees (BoT), National Executive Committee (NEC), chairman PDP Governors’ Forum before they could listen to us.
“The NWC is sad that we have caused the party a lot of embarrassment; they complained that we ought to have channeled our grievances through the Director of Administration, who in turn will pass it to the National Secretary to NWC, without recourse to the public”.
It was gathered that the resolution was taken at a meeting between the NWC and staff of the PDP at the Legacy House in Abuja.
The resolution of the meeting was conveyed to the enlarged workers forum at a meeting Wednesday inside the NEC hall at the party’s secretariat.
A source close to the meeting stated that “Director of Administration, Bawa Gurama counselled that we should sheath sword and comply with the NWC directives and await further action from the NWC”.
Further check revealed that though the angry workers have decided to comply but they unanimously said: “They stand by the reply to the memo issued by the National Secretary, Professor Wale Oladipo.
“We are not to be blame for making the issue a public discourse; it was the memo which the NWC leaked to the public through the National Secretary that led to our reaction”.
