Plateau State Governor Jonah Jang has said the quest for the
2015 presidential ticket was responsible for the crises in the Peoples
Democratic Party and the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. He made the remark at the end of the meeting of the PDP Board of
Trustees (BoT) held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in
Abuja on Wednesday.
“We know this whole thing is about 2015. But I want to let them know
that 2015 is in the hands of God. Let us wait and see,” the News Agency
of Nigeria quoted the governor as saying at the meeting.
Jang insisted that he remained the authentic chairman of the NGF and
promised t
o make peace with the other governors keeping away from the
meetings presided over by him.
“In a big party such as this, you will expect these crises to happen.
PDP is solid and if some opposition thinks they will use our members to
break our ranks, they are wasting their time.
“By the time we finish our National Executive Council meeting, PDP will come back stronger,’” he said.
The Secretary of the BoT, Sen. Walid Jibril, said the wrangling in the party formed part of the discussion at the meeting.
“Details will unfold at the NEC meeting on Thursday. We discussed matters connected to the progress of our party in preparation for the NEC meeting coming up on Thursday. We want to assure you that details of the activity will be properly communicated to you after the NEC meeting,” Jibril said.
He explained that as an advisory body, the BoT cannot enforce its resolution until it is ratified by NEC.
President Goodluck Jonathan; Vice President Muhammad Namadi Sambo,
Senate President David Mark; Deputy Senate President Ike Ekwerenmadu and
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, attended the
meeting.
Others were former PDP National Chairman, Sen. Barnabas Gemade, Prof.
Jerry Gana, Chief Jim Nwobodo and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.
