In a dramatic twist to the Peoples Democratic Party’s continuing crisis, the party’s Acting National Chairman, Yemi Akinwonmi, is currently presiding over a meeting of the party caucus at the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja.
Despite the fact that the National Chairman, Uche Secondus, took office on Friday following an order issued by a Kebbi State High Court on Thursday, he is not present at the meeting.
Akinwonmi said, “I came here this morning and a letter was served on me. Coincidentally, I met the chairman of the BoT and told him and he told me he received a copy of the same letter.
“I want us to discuss this letter before this meeting starts.”
Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Aminu Tambuwal, said, “I bring the greetings of my colleague governors to this meeting.
“We are working together for the good of our party;whatever issues we have will be resolved at this caucus meeting.”
Chairman of the PDP BoT, Senator Walid Jibrin, noted that, “ Yesterday, we had several meetings and took decisions.
“By the grace of God, we will take decisions that will be in the interest of the party. Let us set aside all
personal interests to make this party great.”
Chairman of the National Assembly Caucus, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, said, “Every Nigerian is looking up to us in the PDP to give a sense of direction because the other party, including the President, had admitted failure.
“He [Buhari] said he won’t finish his tenure a failure. That, in itself, is admittance of failure.
“We in the National Assembly are in support of this effort.”
