Nyesom Wike, minister of federal capital territory , says the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party does not have the authority to declare who can occupy the office of national secretary of the party.Samuel Anyanwu to resign as the party’s national secretary on the ground of being the governorship candidate in the November 11 election in Imo state.
“Your Excellency, permit me to observe with respect that the Board of Trustees lack the moral authority to intervene on the issue of who occupies or should occupy the Office of the National Secretary of the Party,” the minister wrote in his response to Wabara seen by TheCable.
“Indeed, if and when a vacancy occurs, the responsibility of deciding who and how the vacancy will be filled is that of the entire Southern States to which the position was zoned and not only the South East geopolitical, as your letter under reference appears to be suggesting.”Wike said the letter to Damagun should not be copied to Ihedioha as the former governor of Imo state because the supreme court had nullified his election.
“To do otherwise will amount to dressing him in borrowed robes, which will not do him and the Party any good.”Advertisement
