No change in PDP leadership – NWC

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has assured all members of the party that there has not been any change, whatsoever, in the leadership composition of the party at the national level.

the Party in a statement by Barrister Victor Kwon, National Legal Adviser, affirmed that “For the avoidance of doubt, the statutory organs of the party, the NWC, National Caucus, BoT and NEC will be meeting next week to deliberate on some developments, including the replacement from the North East of Alhaji Adamu Muazu, who resigned as the National Chairman of the party.”

The PDP emphasised that replacement will be in strict adherence to the provisions of the
constitution of the party as specified in section 47(6). “Until then, the status quo remains, which means the Deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, remains as the Acting National Chairman,” the party stated.

Furthermore, it must be reiterated that all relevant stakeholders of our party, including the PDP Governor’s Forum, National Caucus and the Board  of Trustees (BoT) as well as our leadership structures at all levels are united behind the current National Working Committee in the efforts to rebuild, re-position and strengthen our party for the challenges ahead, Kwon said.

He maintained that the leadership of the party has resolved to remain focused and not be
distracted by the unpatriotic actions of the former Political Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Gulak, “because we are privy to his agenda of being an agent of destabilization in the party.”

While urging all members, especially, those with various aspirations to dedicate to actions that unite rather than divide our ranks, the NWC wishes to assure of its unflinching commitment to the wider interest of the party, especially, at this challenging time, Kwon declared.
