The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) has endorsed Ude Okoye as the party’s authentic National Secretary.
They encouraged the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to confirm him as the substantive national secretary of the party.
The decision was made during an emergency meeting at Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja over the party’s ongoing crisis.
The meeting had in attendance the BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara; Secretary of the BoT, Senator Ahmed Makarfi.
Others included former State Lead Representatives Achike Udenwa, Sam Egwu, Babangida Aliyu, and Senator Ben Obi among others.
At the gathering the BoT got a report from the former Minister of Special Duties, Tamini Turaki, who was taksed to study the court’s documents presented by both the PDP National Secretary, Samuel Nayanwu and Sunday Udeh-Okoye who has been contesting the legality of his office.
In his introductory remarks, the BoT Chairman complimented the PDP State Lead Representatives for asking that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party holds its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in March.
The BoT Chairman likewise referred to the violence that took place last week, as the reason why they will not hold their meetings at the Wadata Plaza until security is restored in the secretariat.
Both Okoye and Senator Samuel Anyanwu are making a case for the PDP Secretary’s office, a development that is presently pitching members of the party against each another.
