The cross river state secretariat
of Young Democratic Party YDP has been confiscated by the party’s former leader,
Mr. Anthony Bissong Athah and handed over to the newly registered Young
Progressive Party.
Members of YDP were locked out of their secretariat
yesterday when they held their congress. It was later discovered by the
leadership of the party that Mr. Anthony Bissiong Athah had confiscated the
state secretariat upon his defection to YPP.
Speaking with NegroidHaven, The state Convention
Planning Committee Chairman, Comr. Eteng said 'When I approached Mr Anthony
Bissong Attah for the keys to the party secretariat I was informed by him that
the property does not belong to YDP anymore'. On his part, Mr Attah disclosed
to NegroidHaven this morning via phone call that, 'the property was bought in
my name, and now belongs to the YPP'.
Mr.
Attah claims that the Secretariat belongs to him thus he has now donated it to
YPP.
It will be recall that the
former state chairman of the YDP Mr. Castro Ezema had on Sunday 16th
July convened a meeting at a printing press where he verbally tendered his
resignation from the party. Also the former
leader of the party Mr. Anthony Bissong Attah used the opportunity to resign
his membership of the party. This development thus leaves the position of the
state chairman and party leader vacant.
The resigning chieftains
of the party disclosed to party faithful that they were resigning to take over
the leadership of the newly registered Young People’s Party in the state.
Chatting with TDN, Mr.
Ezama disclosed that he took a new responsibility as chairman of Young
Progressive party, YPP.
