The Speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly, AbdulRazak Atunwa, has expressed his worries with the alleged on going rancour among members of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Atunwa, in a chat with reporters Friday in Ilorin, said the crisis within the PDP was sadly coming within it and not from without.

Believing that the internal machinery of the party remained viable enough to resolve the dispute, he nevertheless warned that if the crisis was not promptly resolved, it could lead to the disintegration of the party.

According to him “It is troubling to view the machination that has been going on in our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party.

“But I have every confidence that in the shortest time possible all the intra-party differences will be resolved amicably. Otherwise, we will be heading for a mutually assured destruction (MAD) situation if we don’t bring all these intra-party differences behind us.

“For me our political leaders should stop playing political eye service with our party and its people. They should sit down at the round table and come to an agreement for the betterment of our country.

Speaking on the recent accent of President Goodluck Jonathan to the 2013 Budget, the Speaker said, “as a constitutional lawyer, the 2013 budget as assented to by the President is not a nullity until there has been an intervening act. And there has not been an intervening act by House of Representatives or the Senate to use, to so-called veto the provision.

“Therefore, the president is at liberty to sign it and it is in order that he signed it even though it is out 30 days.”
