The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDP-GF) has said a decision would be taken on the chairmanship position of the party.
Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State and the Chairman of the forum stated this when he briefed newsmen shortly after the forum’s meeting, ahead of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party in Abuja.
“The NEC will decide whether it is time to fill the vacancy looking at the legal implications of doing that, knowing that they are so many lingering litigations in court.
“There is no contending forces. Who is NEC? NEC is the PDP Governors Forum and other stakeholders. So, we are just a portion of NEC, we cannot talk on behalf of NEC until we get there.
“NEC will take decisions on such issues, not the governors.
“I know the governors normally take leadership positions, but we have an acting person in leadership capacity leading the party.
Mohammed said all issues affecting the party would be addressed within the constitutional framework.
“We are talking about resolving all the issues and going forward, so that at the end of the day, the timeliness allowed in the constitution for congresses and what have you, would have been done.
