When the Prof. Jerry Gana-led committee, which was
mandated last January to restructure the membership of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Board of Trustee (BoT) adopted a formula that any member of the
board who has defected to other parties between 1999 to date should
automatically be said to have lost its privilege status of being a member of
the PDP BoT, many knew that the former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, former
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Umar Na’Abba and Chief Don
Etiebet would surely be affected.
Though a founding member of PDP, Don Etiebet had
left the party to become the national chairman of the opposition ANPP before he
later came back to PDP. Now, according to news reports, Etiebet has been
replaced in the PDP BoT with another Akwa Ibom politician, Senator Emmanuel
Ibok-Essien.
The PDP has a right to vacillate on issues as they please. What difference does it make that one is a member of BoT? We are serially informed that the party is made up of Judases. It is better that your enemy is defined and identifiable than that he is a member of your household. The enemies of the PDP are PDP.
ReplyDeleteI can not fathom any effect or defect in the removal of Etiebiet from the BOT in the biggest party in Africa:the PDP. Just because, before now, not many were in the know of Etiebiet as a board member , let alone having or feeling any benefit derivable of such position,if any, to Akwa Abasi Ibom state. Truly Speaking, not few did not know of Etiebiet in that capacity in PDP. His removal is kind of no love lost situation.
ReplyDeleteEtiebet's removal is insignificant to PDP and Akwa Ibom State. He is like a wave without a constant frequency.
ReplyDeleteWho told you that Chief Don Etiebet is no more a member of the Board of Trustees of PDP? Can you emphatically and specifically answer this question or else I would assume that you are been sycophantic to your pay master and insulting to the long built personality of and indefatigable and well known politician; Chief Don Etiebet. What are you trying to insinuate? Who in Akwa Ibom State can you compare Chief Don Etiebet with politically and otherwise? Some of us do not know the worth of what we have until we miss it.
ReplyDeleteIt does not matter if he is there or not except his being there will give Akwa Ibom people the REFINERY he denied us when he was oil minister or will unite Akwa ibomite, to me he is on his own and i am on my own i don't about you they will not see peace except he and the rest of them quit thinking about what will be his/their gain and start thinking of what will be the gain of others or the common people in Akwa ibom state.
