Ahmadu Ali emerges PDP BoT chairman

After a tough battle with about five contenders, including the newly appointed chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Tony Anenih, former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, Okwesilieze Nwodo, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and Shuaibu Oyedokun, a former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ahmadu Ali, has emerged as the party’s new Board of Trustees’ chairman, BoT as President Olusegun Obasanjo voluntarily retired last year.

Prior to the election it had been thought that the new BoT chairman would emerge by consensus as against a ballot. But none of the contenders agreed to step down for another.

In line with Article 12.77 of the party’s constitution, the contenders agreed that the election would determine the acceptability of the winner.

Conveying the party’s decision to the public, the board’s secretary, Walid Jibrin, said the PDP at its December meeting failed to agree on a consensus candidate and had thus settled for the process of election which had been fixed for today.

Jibrin, however, said that today’s winner would serve a single term of five years in accordance with the party’s constitution.
Ali’s emergence, political pundits believe shows the ascendancy of former president Obasanjo in the power equation in the PDP as Ali is believed to be his preferred candidate.

Ali’s defeat of Anenih, perceived to be the candidate of President Goodluck Jonathan is seen as a political signal of his waning hold on the power levers of the party.

Jonathan who is believed to want to run in the 2015 presidential election, has recently appointed Anenih into the “juicy” NPA board post.

Will jonathan survive PDP primary?
Obasanjo men coming on board again.
We are watching!!!

And some will say OBJ is no longer powerful. This man chaired PPPRA at the time the subsidy scam was on, never been prosecuted. The sons of the Chairman and the BOT Chairman both involved in the subsidy scam. PDP truly is the burden of this Nation; an association of thieves and killers!

Obj: 1
Gej: 0

But bro, don't you feel GEJ had foresee the likely outcome of the BOT election prior to this time, hence providing a sort of soft landing for Anenih as NPA Chairman in case of eventualities, and which was played out today?

U guys are not seeing this correctly. Anenih was given that post, NPA chireman, as a compensation, because he will not be given the Bot seat.my thot!

OBJ is a living legend. Wheter we appreciate him or not. He has achieved a feat that no Nigerian either living or dead can at least not in this millennium. He has been there. He laid the foundation for the neo-nigeria development.

HE IS REALY A GREAT MAN. GREATEST ACHIEVER OF ALL TIME.

I do know, just trying to get some humour out of it. The possibility of reconciliation between the duo is there, though this outcome has undermined GEJ's influence to an extent!

OBJ is still a force to recon with in political equation of this nation not only the PDP.
GEJ needs to call his attack dogs to order lest they put him in a deep shit. The sooner he realizes the indispensability of OBJ the better.

It was always the whole North against South before OBJ. It was OBJ that singlehandedly dismantled the ever formidable Northern political empire. This feat is not irreversible but the technical-know-how lies only with Baba Iyabo.

Stop there - he is only strong in PDP and taking advantage of the hatred an average meaningful Nigerian now have for GEJ. Everybody apart from the SE and SS is tired of GEJ. GEJ knows his time is up and the reason they went printing posters saying vacancy in Aso rock.

BODE GEORGE FOR PRESIDENT,THE WAY WE ARE GOING
