Just yesterday, the Plateau State government suspended four of its cabinet members, via a terse statement from Little Rayfield.
The affected cabinet members are, two commissioners, a special adviser and a Liaison Officer from Qua’an Pan and Mikang local government areas, of the southern part of Plateau State.
It is expected that, under a sane clime and in an ideal situation, the government, owes the people of the State explanations, as to the reason for the suspension of the four cabinet members from a particular geo-political zone.
The calculated and deliberate silence by the government on the matter, smacks conspiracy theories and suspicions, especially in the political space, where threats reigned the air during the PDP’s just concluded bloodied primary elections in that political ecosystem.
Circumstantial evidence points to the fact that, the suspended public officers might be the first batch of casualties registered, as a result of flexing of political muscles between the ‘cabal’ and the former members of the National Assembly.
According to sources, the two suspended commissioners from Qua’an Pan, belong to a political bloc with the former member of the House of Representatives Isaac Kwallu, who reportedly fought the anointed candidate of the cabal, Christopher Audu,during the botched violent primary elections in the area.
In the same breath, the suspended Special adviser and the Liaison officer both from Mikang, were said to be linked to George Daika who also, reportedly worked against the interest of the cabal in that locality.
From all available information, the dirty in-house fighting has no doubt, widened and deepened the existing schisms in the PDP, thereby making noticeable difference between the Party’s new comers and the old timers, who are believed to be well grounded grassroots mobilisers.
Further more, it is rumoured, that the head of the cabal, one Yari Kumchi is the government’s ‘man Friday’ and Yeoman, who is determined to cut to sizes, the Kwallus, Shekaraus, Daikas, Lars, Golus, Marens, and Dabangs for the Mutfwang government to get a fresh political breadth.
Impeccable sources also have it that, as a counter move, the former members of the National Assembly presently in government, have been meeting and contemplating putting in their resignation letters very soon, in order to avoid any embarrassment and also allow them fight the cabal frontally.
What is going on in the PDP, clearly shows desperation, victimisation, and misuse of power for self aggrandizement against the collective interest of the people.
