The National Executive committee of FIDA NIGERIA has said that
the 3-woman committee which was constituted by Justice Peace Otti
for Fida Anambra was unconstitutionally set up and therefore stands
dissolved.
This was contained in a rejoinder signed by National President
of the Organization, Rhoda Prevail Tyoden, and the National
Secretary, Evelyn Membere- Asimiea. In the rejoinder made available
to TheNigerialawyer (TNL), the National Executive
expressly stated that FIDA NIGERIA upholds dearly her Constitution
and rule of law and will not take any breach of her constitution
lightly; therefore, members of the Caretaker committee are
forthwith directed not to operate or parade themselves as the
Caretaker committee of FIDA NIGERIA, Anambra State Branch.
“The attention of the National Executive committee of FIDA
NIGERIA has been drawn to the news of a 3-woman caretaker committee
set up to run the affairs of FIDA ANAMBRA Branch. We wish to
categorically state that the 3-woman committee was
unconstitutionally set up and therefore stands dissolved. The
general public and the entire members of FIDA NIGERIA are advised
not to deal with this caretaker committee.
“Members of the Caretaker committee are forthwith directed not
to operate or parade themselves as the Caretaker committee of FIDA
NIGERIA, Anambra State Branch. FIDA NIGERIA upholds dearly her
Constitution and rule of law and will not take any breach of her
constitution lightly. All members of FIDA NIGERIA, Anambra Branch
are therefore to return to status quo until the National Executive
committee conducts an election at the shortest possible time,” it
was affirmed.
Responding to the statement from the National, FIDA Anambra said
that Executive is no longer relevant since they have failed to do
the needful.
“We the Concerned Members of FIDA Anambra have lost Faith in
your Executive Since the Peace that was brought to Fida Anambra on
Tuesday didn’t go down well with your executive.
For the avoidance of doubt, Section 9 (5) of the FIDA
Constitution provides: “Each Branch shall be autonomous to the
extent of the running of its affairs. However, all Branches within
a State must operate within the objectives of the Association and
her code of conduct.”
TNL recalls that the Justice Peace Otti had earlier constituted
a three-woman committee to handle the affairs of FDA Anambra
branch.
