Rising from their emergency meeting that lasted for about four hours at the party National Secretariat, Abuja, the BoT called on the leaders of the North Central Zone to immediately convene a meeting of North Central stakeholders with a view to nominating a replacement for former National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
Recall that since Ayu was sacked, Amb. Umar Damagum, took over in acting capacity and has even gone to court to stop his removal.
The BoT, in its communique after their meeting read by the Chairman of the board, Sen. Adolphus Wabara, called on the party National Working Committee (NWC) to show leadership, honour its word and convene the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting as scheduled in February 2025.
The BoT demanded that the “NWC should show leadership, honour its word and convene the NEC meeting as scheduled in February 2025. This is critical for resolving pressing issues and charting a clear path forward for the party. Any further postponement will exacerbate existing challenges and may spell doom for our Party.
“The BoT calls on the leaders of the North Central Zone to immediately convene a meeting of North Central stakeholders with a view to nominating a replacement for former National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
“The BoT calls for unity and strict adherence to democratic principles by all Organs of the Party so as to strengthen the PDP to effectively play its role as true opposition party in the country
“The BoT stressed that the strength of the PDP lies in collective resolve and not in individual pursuits. The BoT cannot therefore afford to let personal ambitions or differences overshadow the shared vision for a better Nigeria. To this end, the BoT remains committed to its search for true reconciliation, unity and harmony in the Party.”
