ABUJA— FOLLOWING last Wednesday’s judgment by an Appeal Court sitting in Abuja, which re-instated former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Onyinola, as National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the G-7 governors and the Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led splinter group of the PDP, yester-day, asked Onyinola to resume duties today at party secretariat.

Rising from its National Working Committee, NWC, meeting yesterday, the group noted that Oyinlola must not wait for any directive from any quarters for him to resume as National Secretary of Bamanga Tukur-led PDP.

It, however, said that any other person who parades himself as the National Secretary of PDP should be commit-ted to prison for contempt of court.

Meanwhile, the group has resolved to dump PDP for the All Progre-ssive Congress, APC, if peace moves with Presi-dent Goodluck Jonathan fail.

According to the group, “NWC commen-ded the nPDP leader-ship, including both the caucus and NWC mem-bers, for turning the party into the beautiful bride of Nigerian politics in view of the fact that we hold the key to decide the next President of Nigeria come 2015.

“The NWC considered other options in case our talks with President Jonathan fail to produce the desired result and concluded that our door should be opened to the APC option, while not ruling out other options that would give us the leverage in reshaping the polity come 2015.”

It said that having considered what it described as the expert opinion of its Legal Adviser, Mr. Eric Opia, Oyinlola does not need any other oath of office to return to work as PDP National Secretary.
