Tweet By DANIEL GUMN ENVIRONMENTAL Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria (ERA/FoEN) has asked the newly inaugurated administration of President Goodluck Jonathan to produce a workable and feasible environmental blueprint that will address deforestation, gas flaring and other grave environmental concerns besetting the nation. In a statement to commemorate the 2011 World Environment Day, Saturday,  titled, “Forests: Nature at your service,” ERA/FoEN said, more than ever before, the time is now ripe for government to match talk with action by putting the brakes on all destructive projects promoted in collaboration with profit-only corporations that hide under the cover of development to further impoverish the people.

ONE-TIME commissioner for lands, survey and urban development and chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta Central Senatorial District, Mr. Terry Noah, and state assistant secretary of the party in Delta Central, Mr. Felix Anirah, were, Saturday, slammed with one month suspension for their alleged anti party activities.

The party, in a communiqué issued at the end of its meeting, alleged that the duo had “fragrantly breached Article 21 (1) paragraphs a, b, c, e, f, h and i of the PDP constitution as amended” and urged the state executive committee of the party to “act expediously on the issue of anti party activities in the Central Senatorial District so as to put the party in a strong footing.”

The communiqué, signed by Chief J.J Scott, Chief Taro Joseph, Dr David Oghenekevwe, Chief Captain Omovie, and Mr. Stephen Aghelegin, chairmen of the party in Okpe, Uvwie, Sapele, Ethiope East, and Ethiope West Local Government Areas respectively, referred the  officials to the state disciplinary committee for ratification of the suspension or expulsion “as the state executive committee may deem fit as appropriate.”

According to the communiqué, the meeting was held in “accordance with the extant provisions of the PDP constitution 2009 as amended to x-ray the performance of the party and deliberate on the actions and inaction of party leaders and members that resulted to the abysmal performance of the party in the senatorial district.

The communiqué warned the suspended officials to cease to parade themselves as officials of the party pending their clearance or otherwise by the state disciplinary committee set up by the state working committee of the PDP.
