Political participation rights for government employees sparked fresh debate during Saturday's Peoples Democratic Party ward congress activities across Adamawa State. Timothy Kataps, who chairs the PDP Adamawa Ward Congress Committee, addressed questions about dual office-holding restrictions. The Taraba State Government Secretary emphasized that constitutional freedom of association permits civil servants to join political parties. However, Kataps maintained that government workers must resign from public positions before seeking elected office. The lawyer stressed that no citizen should simultaneously hold two public positions under any circumstances.
Kataps praised the peaceful conduct of ward congresses across 226 locations throughout Adamawa while monitoring concluded Saturday afternoon. He acknowledged that the party faces various challenges at the national level but expressed confidence in eventual recovery. The committee chairman described some difficulties as self-inflicted while attributing others to destabilization efforts by opposition forces. Despite current obstacles, Kataps affirmed that the PDP maintains deep roots among Nigerian citizens, who continue to support the organization.
