Party Exco: Mu’azu Directs Conduct Of Congress In Yobe

Following a letter by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) which nullified the executive body of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Yobe State, the national chairman of the party, Dr. Adamu Mu’azu, has directed the conduct of a congress of the state chapter in order to constitute a party executive body. The development is sequel to a meeting between Mu’azu and the leaders of the party in Yobe State at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja yesterday. It was gathered that Mu’azu expressed concern over the situation and directed the vice chairman of the party from the North East, Senator Girigiri Lawal, to convene a meeting with other party stakeholders from the state to resolve the issue. The meeting has been scheduled to hold in Bauchi State at a yet to be fixed date. Confirming the development, a chieftain of Yobe PDP, who sought anonymity said, “Yes, the national chairman drew our attention to a letter from INEC and he gave us a mandate to settle the issue. “He specifically directed the vice chairman from the north east, who incidentally is from Yobe State to convene a meeting with all stakeholders as soon as possible so that we can get the issue resolved.
