Hon. Timothy Dantong, the Member representing Riyom Constituency has said he will not fold his hands and watch the People’ Democratic Party, PDP in the Constituency being destroyed by anyone on account of parochial interest.

He stated that as a Representative of the people under the party, he will work with those who meant well for the party and the Constituency.

He made this known while responding to the former Member of the Constituency, Hon. Daniel Dem who he accused of tampering with the list of Bum Federal Ward Exco of the Party and changing the Chairman, Mr. Mungu Ngyang with his former Personal Assistant, Mr. Silas Luka who lost election during the re-conducted Ward Congress of the Party which held on 11th September, 2021.

His call is contained in a letter signed by him and made available to this medium.

The statement reads;

RESPONSE TO THE THREATS RAISED BY HON. DANIEL DEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO RUN AWAY FROM THE REALITY

I, Hon. Timothy Dantong member representing Riyom Constituency will not be irresponsible to sit quite while destruction of the Exco of my party is being carried out which could lead to a great damage in our great party, the PDP.

I led the Concerned Youths who wrote and called for the suspension of Hon. Daniel Dem from the party based on the evidences before us that:

1. I believe that our Party, the PDP is well organized and well structured with proper channels of communications, that if need be for the party to send any important document from the National level to the State, they will not wait to send for just anyone who is available but will follow the appropriate channels of communication.
   For an interested party like Hon. Daniel Dem to be a recipient of such document clearly spelt out the motive behind such action.
2. Hon. Dem actually started implementing the content of the documents he claimed he did not know about before it reached the State Secretariat.
   I reported his intention days before the arrival of the said document
   (When we get to the court we should made available evidence).
3. He instigated the Youth Leader of Attakar Ward through one Danladi magaji, that I, Hon. Timothy Dantong is responsible for the change of his name as an Exco which Danladi Magaji testified during an Exco meeting and is recorded.
4. On the day Hon. Daniel Dem delivered those documents to the State Party Secretariat and without the State Working Committee Sitting to understand the document to make public the said change in the names of exco if its true, Hon. Dem and his boss substituted the chairman of Bum ward. Mr Mungu Ngyang with his former Personal Assistant (PA), Silas Luka during an empowerment program in the house of sen. ID Gyang. This was later found to be same in the document he brought to the State Secretariat.

Many more evidence and testimonies will be made available when we get to the court.
You may please proceed as you chose to do so but we shall not in any way regret or make an attempt to withdraw our claims for the need to suspend such a member from the party.
For your information I have forwarded a written letter to the party in this regard.

As to your claim for having supported my aspiration to my present position and others, I will reserve comments for another day not to be distracted from the main issue but I want you to know that I can’t in any way partner with anyone who chose the path of injustice for whatever reason.
