I Am Still The Lagos PDP Chairman—Shelle Declares

Mr. Tunji Shele

Mr. Tunji Shele, the PDP Chairman, Lagos chapter has faulted his removal. The state chairman, who said it was contrary to the PDP constitution, noted it is only the National Executive Council, NEC, of the party that can remove him from office.

He said “they are jesters, they are jokers. They are a set of irresponsible people, I do not even know them because they do not belong to the PDP. They have not followed the party’s constitution and in any case, the South-West leadership has already rebuked them. I was at a meeting of the South West leaders when I got the message and the South west has ready reacted on it. Similarly, the national leadership has rebuked them because I am a member of the National Executive Council of the party, they do not have the powers to remove, impeach or even suspend me.”
Asked whether the leadership of the party will be taking disciplinary steps against those involved in the plot, he said “definitely, they will because those involved will not be able to go back on the impeachment. They will be afraid of their shadows now because they have committed sacrilege.”
Shelle, who described the alleged impeachment as an exercise in futility insisted he remained the state chairman of the party.
“They have committed a huge blunder because they will regret getting involved in the first place.”
In addition, he said “I have worked for the party, I have done what no other person has done for the party before. The party has never won elections in the past because in my time, we won some seats. Now these nonentity have been sponsored to remove me. They must have been sponsored because they are a group of hungry people, they do not have pedigree.”
Exonerating himself from the accusation that he manipulated the primary that produced Jimi Agbaje as the governorship candidate of the party in Lagos State he said Agbaje “remains the credible candidate that I know”.

He stated that “I am not a controversial person. I believe in doing my best. I have the singular opportunity to serve the party and I have done my best. “Jimi Agbaje remains the credible candidate that I know and my pedigree and integrity remains impeccable. Only the NEC of the party has the powers to impeach me, definitely not Owokoniran and Olorunoje”.
“They have missed it because they failed to follow the party constitution. I remain the chairman”, he said.
