The National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, (South-South), Emmanuel Ogidi, says the emergence of a parallel Board of Trustees, BoT, within the party is illegal, describing it as an act of the minority having their say.
Ogidi made this statement on Friday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.
According to him, the development had no constitutional basis and would not stand.
“It is easy for democracy — the minority will have their say. By our constitution, the BoT is clearly defined.
“What some people have done is not recognised by the party; they are not the BoT. They can say what they like, but they remain the minority,” he said.
The PDP stalwart further stated that those who engineered the purported BoT meeting were only seeking attention.
Ogidi clarified that their actions do not have effect on the legitimacy or operations of the party.
DAILY POST recalls that Mao Ohuabunwa on Friday was appointed the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, BoT, of the party’s faction loyal to Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.
