Ettehgate and PDP

The People Democractic Party, the party of the honourable Speaker Olubunmi Patricia Etteh, will not stop to amaze me with their intriques and political dramas.
When the saga started, they pretended not to know and when it became a national scandal, the party instead of calling Etteh to order threatened to recall their members in the house. In their submission, Etteh has not erred in the award of the contract but is being witch-hunted by the opposition and those who lost out in the House chairmanship seats. Therefore Etteh should be supported.
When the report was submitted to the House and Nigerians were informed of details, there was this cry for justice and removal by the citizenry. Few members in the House came together and formed integrity group to pressurize the Speaker to step aside for the consideration of the report.
PDP seeing this move and the comments of Nigerians quickly change thier stand and said Madam Speaker should step aside and not preside over her own case. Apparently the directive of the Speaker stepping aside for the debate on the panel was not communicated to her before it was made public. Immediately she read that news from the papers, she and her mentor, OBJ, the former president rushed to the villa for a meeting to stay action on that directive. The presidency reacted by summoning all PDP members to a meeting but before they could arrive at an acceptable decision, Dr Aminu Safana slumped in the chamber during the crisis and died later in the hospital. After the burial of Safana and the meeting of OBJ and other members in Abuja on how to safe Etteh, the PDP came up with the issue of due process.
What is Due Process in this case? It is a situation whereby a motion must be called and passed for the stepping aside or down of the Speaker and the emergence of speaker pro-tempore. According to the press statement from the People Democractic Party (PDP) signed by the National Publicity Secretary Lady Ime Udom, the party want the crisis to be resolved with all parties following due process.
Did Madam Speaker follow due process when the contract of N628m was awarded to non existent companies for the renovation of their official quarters and purchase of exotic cars? PDP is talking about the rule of law saying the speaker will not step aside without due process so as not to lay a bad precednce which would be detrimental to the rule of Law? Which rule of law?
The rule of law that they disregard at will? Hon Rotimi Amaechi won the primaries and emerges the gubernatorial candidate for PDP for Rivers State to contest the election in April but they switched his name with Omehia. This is what PDP does at will. IN 2003, they did it in Anambra State. Hon Obi and Hon Joy Emordi of the senate were victims. They do not have regard for due process or rule of law and they are asking others to abide by the rule of law.
Thank God for the Judiciary if not we would all be sorry for allowing PDP to govern this country. The Judiciary this afternoon, 25/10/2007, reverses the so called victory of Omehia and his godfathers and gave it to Hon Amaechi. What will PDP do next? Let's wait and see.
As for madam speaker, without being told, commonsense should suggest to her that no one preside over his or her own case. Lets be reasonable and sensitive to the feelings of the people we claim we represent and do the right thing.
