Amid the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, the
immediate past chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the party, Senator
Walid Jibrin, on Friday, disclosed that he will remain in the party and will
continue to do so until Atiku becomes the president of Nigeria in 2023.
Recall that Senator Walid Jibrin, the chairman of the Board
of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had on August 7, 2020,
resigned from his position.
Although political pundits believed Mr Jibrin’s resignation
came amid calls that the party’s leadership structure be reshuffled to balance
the existing lopsidedness in favour of the north, he argued that his decision
to resign was to ensure victory for the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar, and the PDP in general.
In a statement he issued on Friday, Senator Walid Jibrin
said despite his resignation as BoT chairman, he remains an active BoT member
for life.
Senator Walid, while thanking the party for appointing him
the state chairman of the presidential campaign council, called on PDP and
Nigerians to vote for Atiku in 2023.
He said ”for appointing me the chairman of the Nasarawa
State presidential campaign council, I want to sincerely thank the state PDP
chairman and his entire exco, the elders, the caucus, and the entire PDP
members in the state for giving me this very important assignment, adding that
the appointment will no doubt protect and strengthen the party considering my
being in the party since 1998 when it was established.
He said he had been a true party man right from the unit,
ward, local, zone, and state where he served as party leader, adding that he
served as national ex-officio, member NWC, deputy national financial secretary,
national financial secretary, member Nwc, BoT member, acting BoT secretary,
confirmed BoT secretary, acting BoT national chairman, and finally BoT chairman
the conscious of the party.
“ I want to assure you all that despite my resignation as
BoT chairman, I still remain an active Board of Trustees member for life
(BoT),” he said
