BREAKING: Ex-Senator Mao Ohuabunwa Named Factional PDP BoT Chairman
Former Senator representing Abia North, Mao Ohuabunwa, has been announced as the factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT). This follows the dissolution of the Adolphus Wabara-led board by a faction aligned with the party’s new Acting National Chairman, Alhaji Abdulrahman Muhammad.
The development was disclosed in a communiqué issued on Friday after an emergency inaugural meeting of the reconstituted BoT held in Abuja.
According to the communiqué, Isah Dansidi was also elected as Secretary, replacing Senator Ahmed Makarfi. The statement explained that both Wabara and Makarfi were removed for “publicly taking sides in the ongoing internal crisis,” a move the faction said compromised their neutrality and moral authority within the party.
“Accordingly, the Board unanimously elected Senator Mao Ohuabunwa and Hon. Isah Dansidi as the Chairman and Secretary of the newly constituted Board of Trustees, respectively,” the communiqué stated.
The new BoT emphasized that the PDP remains one united, indivisible, and democratic entity, committed to the ideals of justice, equity, and progress.
On the issue of the proposed national convention, the BoT endorsed its postponement pending the determination of the appeal against the Federal High Court’s ruling.
“The judgment of the Federal High Court carries greater legal weight than the interim order of the Oyo State High Court,” the statement added.
“It is therefore prudent and respectful to the judicial process that the National Convention be deferred until the Court of Appeal delivers its verdict.”
