PDP BOT Meeting Postponed Indefinitely

The meeting of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scheduled
to hold Thursday has been postponed
indefinitely.
This is the second time the meeting is being
postponed. The one initially scheduled for
December 18, 2015 was called off when it failed
to form a quorum.
Secretary of the BoT, Senator Walid Jibrin,
confirmed the postponement of the meeting in a
telephone chat with our correspondent on
Wednesday.
Jibrin said the postponement was to allow wider
consultation among key party stakeholders,
owing to the sensitivity of issues on the agenda.
He said, ''We can no longer hold the meeting as
scheduled because we discovered that we need
wider consultation to enable us take far reaching
decisions.
''We need time to hold consultations with our
National Assembly Caucus, the National
Executive Committee (NEC), the zonal caucuses,
chairmen of state chapters and other key
stakeholders.''
Jibrin had in December announced a January 14
date for the meeting, when the one scheduled
for December 18 failed to hold.
The meeting was to set in motion machinery for
the emergence of a substantive chairman of the
BOT
