HOTJIST NEWS
Former senator who represented the Abia North Senatorial District, Mao Ohuabunwa, has become the leader of the Board of Trustees for the Peoples Democratic Party. This happened after the previous board, led by Adolphus Wabara, was dissolved by a group within the party that supports the new Acting National Chairman, Alhaji Abdulrahman Muhammad.
This decision was announced in a statement released on Friday after an emergency meeting of the newly formed Board of Trustees, which took place in Abuja.
The statement said the new board also chose Isah Dansidi as Secretary, replacing Senator Ahmed Makarfi.
The board mentioned that Wabara and Makarfi can no longer hold their jobs because they took public sides in the ongoing problems within the party.
The board said this behavior hurt the board‘s ability to stay neutral and maintain its moral standing.
“Accordingly, the Board unanimously approved the election of Senator Mao Ohuabunwa and Hon. Isah Dansidi as the Chairman and Secretary of the newly constituted Board of Trustees, respectively,” the communique read.
The BoT reaffirmed that the PDP “remains one indivisible, united, and democratic family firmly committed to the ideals of justice, equity, and progress.”
On the party’s proposed national convention, the BoT supported its postponement pending the outcome of the appeal filed against the Federal High Court judgment.
“The judgment of the Federal High Court remains superior and weightier in law than the interim order of the Oyo State High Court.
“Prudence and respect for judicial processes demand that the proposed National Convention be postponed until the Court of Appeal delivers its decision,” the communique read.
