ABUJA- THE National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
yesterday described the election of former Chairman of Board of
Trustees, BoT, Tony Anenih into the office of Chairman of the board as
a bold step towards ensuring peace and harmony within the ranks of the
Party.
In a statement signed by PDP National Publicity
Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the PDP however expressed confidence
that Chief Anenih’s antecedents as a mobilizer and consensus builder
over the years will contribute to the long term stability of the Party.
Metuh
said, “Chief Anenih’s tireless participation and critical role in the
formation of the PDP places him in good stead to provide wise counsel
and direct the influential Board of Trustees to follow the noble ideals
of the founders of the Party.
His wealth of experience and
acclaimed reputation as a democrat and consensus builder are assets that
the Party needs at this critical point in our democratic evolution.
”
Chief Anenih’s unanimous election by all members of the Board of
Trustees has disappointed opposition elements and doomsday prophets who
expected the process to result in rancor and acrimony.
“This is
yet another signal that the PDP is ever united and ready to overcome all
perceived obstacles in our drive to provide focused leadership and
service to the people of Nigeria.
“PDP calls all Party members
across board to give maximum cooperation to the new chairman of the BOT
who has himself pledged to broaden the spread of the umbrella to
accommodate all tendencies.”
