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.”
