PDP BoT Hands Over Party Leadership to Makarfi

The Board of Trustees, BoT, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Tuesday handed over the mantle of leadership to the recently constituted Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee.

Speaking at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja, the party’s BoT Chairman, Sen. Walid Jibrin said he was handing over the secretariat to the Makarfi-led committee, appealing to party members to cooperate with the committee to deliver on its mandate

Dismissing reports that the board took over the party’s leadership, Jibrin said the board was only holding the assets and liabilities of the party in trust.

“The party is one and is strong. On behalf of members of the former National Working Committee of the PDP, I am here to handover to the Caretaker committee chairman, we are ready to work with you, we are ready to cooperate with you,” he said.
