At the conclusion of its 79th meeting, the Peoples Democratic Party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) chose Tanimu Turaki, SAN, a former Minister of Special Duties, to mediate in the party’s current national secretary conflict.

There was no deadline for submitting his report, and no other committee members were identified.

However, this was contained in the BoT’s statement, which was read by its chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara.

The BoT also lambasted the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration’s management of the Nigerian economy, blaming it for the country’s collapse.

Reading the communique, Wabara stated, ”The BoT expresses serious concerns over the unresolved challenges facing the party, especially as related to the disagreements within the National Working Committee (NWC).

”The BoT calls on the members of the NWC, all Organs, leaders and critical stakeholders of our Party across board to rise above personal, group or sectional interests and place the stability, unity, sustenance and progress of our Party and its ideals above all other considerations.

”In the effort to resolve the current crisis over the position of the National Secretary of the party, which is presently before the courts, the BoT set up a committee led by Barr Kabiru Tanimu Turaki SAN to interface with the parties, study the situation and report to the Board for further action.

”The Acting National Chairman assured the BoT that the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting will hold as scheduled in scheduled in February 2025 to address all pertinent issues and reaffirm our shared commitment to the unity, discipline, and ideals that bind us together as members of the PDP,” he stated

On the national level, the BoT expressed concern over the country’s deteriorating economic and security situation, social dislocation, and overall sense of pessimism as a result of the APC administration’s ill-conceived and poorly implemented policies.

The BoT decried the APC administration’s insensitivity to Nigerians, as evidenced by the imposition of unjustified multiple taxes and failure to stem the rise in fuel pump prices, electricity tariffs, and telecommunications charges, which has had a crippling effect on the productive sector and caused an unbearable rise in the cost of living in the country.
