Ibadan – Former Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, Mao Ohuabunwa, has emerged as the factional Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, following the dissolution of the Adolphus Wabara-led board by a faction loyal to the party’s new Acting National Chairman, Alhaji Abdulrahman Muhammad.
The announcement was contained in a communique issued on Friday after the inaugural and emergency meeting of the newly reconstituted BoT held in Abuja.
According to the communique, the new BoT also elected Isah Dansidi as Secretary, replacing Senator Ahmed Makarfi.
The Board said Wabara and Makarfi could no longer serve in their previous capacities “having publicly taken positions in the ongoing intra-party crisis,” a situation it said undermined the neutrality and moral authority expected of the BoT.
