The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Cross River State has called for the resignation of its members listed as coordinators of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
The State Publicity Secretary of the party, Mike Ojisi, made this call in a statement on Thursday.
Ojisi said the party is not against members exercising their fundamental right to freedom of association as enshrined in Nigeria’s constitution.
However, the spokesman added that members wishing to join other political parties must resign from the PDP first, as dual party membership is not allowed.
“The State Working Committee (SWC) has noted a publication naming some SWC members and Chapter Chairmen as ADC coordinators in Cross River State.
“The SWC, therefore, urges those named to be honourable and either publicly denounce the publication or resign their PDP positions within 48 hours.
“Otherwise, the party will apply the relevant disciplinary provisions of its constitution against them,”; he said.
Ojisi stated further that the PDP was not in any coalition, as resolved at its 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting recently held in Abuja.
He charged Executive Committee members to stay loyal to the PDP and avoid activities that may be seen as defection or anti-party conduct.
