The splinter PDP, which has been winning fresh converts daily, made this revelation in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze.
“We have learnt of the sinister plot to impeach the Senate President, Senator David Mark and Speaker Aminu Tambuwal in connection with the visit of the progressive Governors and the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the National Assembly on Tuesday, September 17, 2013”.
The nPDP said “the plot by the hawks in the
Presidency is politics taken too far and illustrates the extent to which
they are prepared to go in their determination to plunge this country
into chaos. We wish to warn those who are planning this coup to desist
forthwith as such a misadventure is capable of plunging this nation into
a crisis of monumental proportions.
"These undemocratic elements should stop overheating the polity just
because of their selfish ambitions. Those who feel that politics is
better practised by way of threats and the unseating of those who do not
share their unprogressive thoughts should know that there is a limit to
how far they can push us”.
The statement commended President David Mark and Speaker Aminu Tambuwal for ushering in what it called “a unique style of leadership” which has resulted to the sanity, brotherhood, unity being witnessed in the National Assembly since they came on board and any negative attempt on them will be resisted considering that we now have the majority in the Assembly. In this regard, we wish to advise the leadership of the National Assembly not to lose sleep over this evil plot as it is destined to fail.

"They did nothing wrong by warmly welcoming the progressive Governors
and the NWC of PDP to the National Assembly. The visit was
well-intentioned and part of the nation-wide consultations being
undertaken by our people in our efforts to correct the evils being
perpetrated by the undemocratic leadership of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur and
his cohorts.
"We sincerely thank the Senate President, Distinguished Senator David
Mark for his great counsel that no member of the National Assembly will
be unseated for any reason based on the present wrangling within the
party contrary to the threat by Bamanga Tukur and his misguided group'"
