We wish to state that at no time did the NWC at its meeting take any decision to sanction or punish the trio for anti party activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concern of the party at the moment is to win election at all levels and therefore will not be distracted from its main focus. In the event that the party finds it necessary to look at the activities of its members before and during the general elections, they are procedures and appropriate channels for taking such actions. We wish to therefore call on those working for our leaders and elders in the party to cross check media reports before going to the press.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Taken from:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dailytrust.dailytrust.com\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=17967:no-plan-to-sanction-ibb-atiku-gusau-pdp-&amp;catid=18:inside-politics&amp;Itemid=19\" title=\"No plan to sanction IBB, Atiku, Gusau - PDP\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No plan to sanction IBB, Atiku, Gusau &#8211; PDP<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Wednesday, 27 April 2011 00:00 Muideen Olaniyi The national leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday dismissed media reports suggesting that the party is planning to sanction the trio of General Ibrahim Babangida, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and General Aliyu Mohammed Gusau for anti-party activities.
