After four hours of tension-soaked meeting in Abuja intended to resolve the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), there seems
to be no end to the crisis threatening the tenure of the party’s National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, as its Board of Trustees failed to reach a consensus on the way forward.The meeting, which was presided over by the chairman of the BoT, Senator Walid Jibrin, failed to reach a truce. It was also unable to recommend sanctions or commendations for any of the parties involved in the crisis.
Asked if the current NWC of the party would be allowed to complete its tenure, another former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, said the committee members would meet between 48 to 72 hours for a way forward.Saraki advised against making a point out of who attended the meeting for the first time, saying “as a member, I was attending for the first time in a long time. We all came together to address some issues and because of the urgency of the matter, we agreed to set up this committee urgently.
But the chairman was interjected midway into his address by a member of the BoT, Mr Abdul Ningi, who drew his attention to the presence of journalists at the venue and asked him to save his comments for the meeting proper.IN March 2021, the BoT and the National Executive Committee of the PDP hurriedly passed a confidence vote on Secondus following agitations for his removal and setting up of a Caretaker Committee to run the affairs of the party till December.
The source disclosed that some members urged the PDP national leadership to display readiness to address issues raised against its management style. “In all, I think we were able to make progress because in line with suggestions made, an agreement was eventually reached to constitute an independent committee to take a far-reaching decision on how to resolve the crises,” he stated.
On whether the next meeting will put an end to constant defection and resignation of members, Mark said: “It will not only stop the current crises, it will lead to providing a better environment to make us far more united and make us stronger as a party.
