PDP BoT Asks Ayu To Resign, Sets Deadline

The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the  Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has asked the party’s National Chairman, Sen. Iyorchia Ayu to assure members that he would resign his position after the 2023 general elections.

The BoT acting Chairman, Sen. Adophus Wabara, disclosed this in a communiqué after the board’s reconciliation committee submitted its report to the BOT members on Friday in Abuja.

Wabara, who read the communique, called on the Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to review his appointments of members of the Campaign Council and other advisory appointments to make it all inclusive.

The board also called on all PDP leaders and persons close to them, to desist from making further inflammatory remarks or granting press interviews on the crisis rocking the party.

“We resolved: to call on the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum to convene a meeting of the forum without further delay.

“To call on all the leaders of the party to match words with action and where commitments are made to unconditionally fulfill same.

“To urge the National Chairman as an eminent leader to give a firm assurance that he would resign his position after the 2023 elections.

“In the same vein, the BoT Chairman has been authorized to offer apologies on behalf of all members who feel malign or aggrieved by the public statements made by its members across the country that has sharpen the current division in the party.”

Wabara said that the board would refer some of those recommendations to the National Executive Committee (NEC) for notice and appropriate action.

Earlier in his remarks at the board meeting, the former president of the Senate said the 2023 election was for PDP to win or lose if the party members were not united.

“So, the aim of this special committee primarily was to find a way of bringing everybody under this our big umbrella.

“No vote is too small. As a matter of fact, all votes are equal. But then when you start counting, that is what brings you victory,” Wabara said.

According to him,  what the party need  to get to the villa is  sacrifices.

“If we do not get to the villa, we will be disappointing ourselves as a party, we will also be disappointing Nigerians.”

Wabara said after setting up the committee, members swinged into action to reconcile issues.

“We operated on the principle of give and take, sacrifice.

“We know that a lot of egos have been hurt on both sides but we should do all in our powers to ensure that we sheath our swords and then aim at the main thing,” Wabara said following the call from the PDP BoT for Ayu to resign after the elections.
