The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party will this week meet to deliberate on the crisis rocking the party.
This is part of a larger plan to rescue the campaign of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, following the boycott of its campaign by some aggrieved governors of the party.
According to news men the advisory body is worried by the growing feud between the party and loyalists of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and may ask the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu to resign.
Although details of the meeting and date were sketchy, the immediate past BoT chairman, Senator Walid Jibrin, disclosed on Monday that members of the board were truly disturbed as the crisis showed no sign of abating.
Against the backdrop of calls for Ayu to resign, the BoT is expected to take a categorical stand on the matter, including possible demand for Ayu’s removal in the interest of the party.
Speaking exclusively, Jibrin enjoined party organs to remain united even as he took a swipe at the National Working Committee over what he called the division in its fold.
