This is contained in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan.
The PDP said its call followed the the appointment of Amaechi as the Director-General (DG) of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 re-election campaign.
“If APC has any strand of dignity, then Amaechi must resign as the Minister of Transportation having been appointed and already functioning as the DG of President Buhari’s Campaign.
“Under the constitution of Nigeria, Mr. Amaechi cannot combine the job of a Minister of the Federal Republic with another responsibility such as the DG of a campaign organization.
“Amaechi’s action in accepting the job while still holding office as Minister is in clear breach of the oath of office and the oath of allegiance which he swore in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). He should therefore resign his office as minister with immediate effect,” he said
The party stated that Amaechi, perhaps in his desperation for recognition, has already began to function in the capacity as mobilizer for Buhari’s second term, adding that, he had already held meetings with some of the governors elected on the platform of the APC.
PDP recalled that when as a serving Minister of Works, Chief Tony Anenih was appointed to head the campaign of then President Olusegun Obasanjo, the former resigned his cabinet appointment.
It expressed shock that the APC is more interested in setting up an electoral structure for a second term when Nigerians are dying daily of hunger and poverty while others are being slaughtered in their communities by marauders across the country.

Sometimes it just seems this PDP folks are bunch of nincompoops.
ReplyDeleteThe person appointed the DG should resign but the person that is the candidate, that would be going all over the place should still retain his position as President or Governor seeing as this 2 positions are not as tasking as a Minister's job shey?
PDP has not played the role of a credible or informed opposition, it's just so disappointing.
You are worse than a Nincompoop.Someone who lost his states election appointed a DR of a retards Campaign. Nigerians should prepare to deal with this sick man called Buhari
DeleteNIGERIAN POLITICIANS ARE A BUNCH OF THWARTS
