As the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) met last night to appoint a replacement for the former chairman, Chief Tony Anenih, who resigned last week, there was fear that if the out going President Goodluck Jonathan accepts the offer of being the next chairman it might present PDP as a regional party.

Also, there is the fear that Jonathan is trying to grab all the structures of the party in his pocket against all other major stakeholders.

This fear is coming against the background that the acting National chairman of the party, Mr. Uche Secondus, is from Rivers State and the National Secretary, Prof Wale Oladipo, is from Osun State.
Both are from the southern part of the country.
The stakeholders are worried that if Jonathan assumes office as the PDP BoT chairman, it would further complicate the regionalisation of the PDP and alienating of the North.

The president who is billed to hand over on Friday to Muhammadu Buhari is from Bayelsa State.
According to a concerned stakeholder, “we opposed former President Olusegun Obasanjo who after handing over became the chairman of PDP. It is not good for President Jonathan to do same, even if he is offered the office of the chairman of the BoT.

“It would not augur well in view of the party that some of the major offices are already concentrated in the south. We have other competent Nigerians that are members of BoT. President Jonathan should resist the temptation of accepting to become the chairman of the BoT. The choice is his either he accepts to become the chairman of the BoT and further diminish the stars of PDP or reject it thereby brightening the stars of the PDP.”

“The immediate past chairman of the PDP BoT offered President Jonathan the chance of becoming the new chairman, which he rejected, it is not known what informed the outgoing president’s rethink of accepting it now,” the source who is a member of the BoT said.

THISDAY gathered that President Jonathan is said to be in dilemma over the offer of accepting to be the chairman of the PDP BoT.

Meanwhile, there are plans to truncate the planned inauguration of the disciplinary committee scheduled for tomorrow.

THISDAY gathered that some members of the PDP would be filing at injunction at the Federal High Court today to stop the inauguration.

It is for this reason that the party is said to have outsmarted the plans by moving the inauguration to today.

Although the initial plan was to inaugurate the committee tomorrow but having gotten wind that some PDP chieftains were planning to challenge the constitutionality or otherwise of the committee today, the inauguration has to be to frustrate the plan.

“We have a plan to challenge the legality of that kangarooic panel because it is illegal and unlawful. There is a disciplinary committee set up, with the late Dr. Umaru Dikko as the chairman. That panel is still standing and until it is dissolved, another cannot come up,” a source disclosed.

i want to ask a question






what is Jonthan coming to do to d already disorganised party as the BoT Chairman??


Sorry to say, a party The General Of Common Sense Revolution (Hon. Rotimi Amaechi) has destroyed and dropped confusion in it, can not recover in the next four years.










PDP should forget coming back by 2019 and bring up a formidable party come 2023 elections.

Thanks.

All I know is that as long as Jonathan is still in PDP, it must fall. The man is a bad omen.

Jonathan shouldn't take up the position. At least not now

Jonathan for BoT chair, patience Jonathan for Chairman, Fayose as secretary i guess.

Just Kidding abeg o

But on a serious note, GEJ can't handle that office. OBJ could because OBJ was big even before becoming a civilian president. Even Anenih had a rich political history before he took over. GEJ hasn't got any clout outside the office of president. How will he rally the troops? who will listen to him? They only defer to him now because he has the keys to the treasury.

Whoever suggested that office to him must be an APC mole intent on destroying the PDP.

Anyway, na their problem

Ok... What next?

How that one take concern me?

Let him step down from Aso rock first. Other things will follow later!!

He better not take that position

UnknownT:
He better not take that position

And why do you say so?

Let him accept it and see

Jonathan should just forget about that position at least for now

the heat on him is just overwhelming

Please please Jonathan, I beg you in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, ACCEPT it.

That's the only I'd be ABSOLUTELY sure PDP will NEVER smell anywhere close to power again!

He has always made sacrifices, he should let go.

That will be a sign of hope for PDP.

After his dismal performance in the polls? After all the allegations of gross incompetence?

That would officially mark the end of PDP.

And I am sure many Nigerians will say: good riddance!

hmmm

Jesus started with prayers and ended with prayers. Goodluck Jonathan started with subsidy and ended up with scarcity.


Bros Jona ur days don get number inside that villa oooo...


Countdown tinzz... 4days to go...

Neduzze5:



And why do you say so?

I don't think he has the "Capacity" to handle the BOT chairmanship position, he should "Quit" politics for now and concentrate on something else, touring the world on peace missions

smh

Always clueless

them knw say he no get brain, but the money wey he steal, na dt one dem wan follow share. nothing spoil...

barcanista:
Jonathan shouldn't take up the position. At least not now

why rejecting ur role model

Let him take it so that we can easily lay hands on him when the time come.
Awon smellos!

Don't accept it, it's a trap!


He should watch events unfold before deciding on his political future.

PDP is about to make a suicidal mistake by giving BOT chairmanship to someone so clueless and tactless that led to their lose of power grip they had for the last 16 years.

If PDP make this mistake I guess by 2019 even KOWA party will be stronger than it.

PDP's best bet is to merge with other smaller parties and change its name and then launch a comeback. The name PDP is dented forever

Jonathan ur name never spoil finish abi. Go take BOT Chairman. U go hear am.

It is clear let him forget about politics and be a peace maker
