Seriake"s Appointment Tears PDP Apart

The appointment of Governor Seriake Dickson to head the PDP reconciliation is causing a whole lot of rift among top PDP members.
A top PDP source close to the PDP governors’ forum,    said that Dickson   told his colleagues that he was not consulted before his name was announced as the reconciliation committee chairman.
His appointment was announced in Abuja by the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Tony Okeke, on behalf of the members of the National Working Committee of the party.
Since  the    announcement,  some of the governors had  secretly condemned  it, saying that  was part of the problem confronting the party.
Besides, the critics of the appointment also said that there was no way the governor could carry out the assignment without being partial because of his closeness to Jonathan.
At the meeting, Dickson was said to have been asked if he would be able to do the assignment considering the barrage of opposition against his appointment.He was said to have  told his colleagues that he was not ready for it.
“We were surprised to hear that. He said he was rejecting it and that was why we said we were going to the Presidential Villa to see the President,” our source added.
The rejection, it was gathered, would be discussed  with Jonathan  with a view to finding   someone else to replace   him.
If this could be done last night,  the inauguration of the 30-member truce  committee would still hold in Abuja on Thursday(today).
“But if we are unable to do that (find a replacement), then the event would be shifted to another date”, the source added.
