PDP BoT will hold an emergency meeting to select new national chairman.
The party decries the inability of the northeast to produce candidate for the position.It also sent a clear warning against those planning to disintegrate the party Following the controversy over who is the authentic chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, the Board of Trustees (BoT) has summoned an emergency meeting to hold next Monday, February 8, to resolve who becomes its national chairman.
The position by PDP consensus was zoned to the northeast of the country.
A former political adviser to immediate past president Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed Gulak, had declared himself as the party’s national chairman which had sparked controversy among its chieftain.
This Day reported that secretary to the BoT, Senator Walid Jibrin, in a statement on Wednesday, February 3, described as very disappointing and embarrassing the inability of the northeast zone of the party to present someone for the chairmanship position.
Jibrin said: “It is very disappointing and embarrassing that the North-east zone cannot present any person for the national chairmanship of the party to replace Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu who has since resigned even if it is for one day.”
He warned that the party will not allow someone or group of people with personal ambition to destroy the party.
The statement read in part: “With the continuous postponement of the zonal meeting, it has become very necessary that the BoT hold an emergency meeting on Monday to review the situation and recommend a suitable to be appointed as the chairman.
“All kinds of impunity and self-centeredness highlighted by the Ekweremadu committee must stop in the PDP if the party is to take over mantle of leadership in 2019.
“We must realise that we are now in the opposition having ruled the country for 16 years. We must therefore exhibit effective and objective opposition.
“Above all, we must learn a lesson from the death of the late Abubakar Audu of Kogi State. With any ambition, one can die within a second without achieving such ambition.
“The party constitution must always be followed strictly with any culprit to be disciplined no matter how highly placed.”
Meanwhile, there are growing calls or the resignation of the national publicity secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh following his ongoing trial for money laundering over the $2.1 billion arms deal scam, a public affairs analyst and activist, Comrade Idris Abiodun Usamn.
