Abdulrahman Mohammed, the acting factional Chairman of the Peoples’ Party has sworn-in Mao Ohabunwa as the chairman of its new board of trustees (BoT).
This event took the place at meeting hosted at the official residence of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Friday. Isah Dansidi also emerged as the Secretary of the BOT.
The Acting chairman, Abdulrahman stated that the was in a bid to reposition the party in line with it’s founding principles and also boost the confidence of the public towards the party.
He said: “We have come together not merely to inaugurate a new board of trustees but to renew our faith in the ideals that gave birth to this great political family — justice, fairness, inclusivity, and respect for the rule of law”.
“We must also be honest with ourselves – the decay we are correcting today did not start yesterday. It began when we abandoned the principle of zoning before the 2015 elections. It began when we allowed ambition to override equity, and when we ignored the cries of reason from within our own ranks. The consequences of those decisions still haunt us today,” he said.
“I stand before you to assure every member of this great party that under this new leadership, the PDP will never again be held hostage by impunity, manipulation, or disregard for its own constitution.
“We will rebuild this party with transparency. We will respect court judgments and the rule of law. We will conduct our congresses with fairness and integrity. We will restore public trust and make the PDP once again the moral voice of Nigeria’s democracy.”
