The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) has officially confirmed Adolphus Wabara, a former Senate President, as its Chairman, along with former Kaduna State governor Ahmed Makarfi as Secretary, in accordance with the party’s amended constitution.
Wabara’s confirmation follows his interim appointment 18 months ago, succeeding Walid Jibrin in 2022, as reported by Channels TV.
In a communique issued after its 76th Meeting, the PDP BoT expressed grave concerns over Nigeria’s worsening economic hardship, skyrocketing costs of essential commodities, and alarming food scarcity, attributing these challenges to the inadequately implemented policies of the APC administration.
“The BoT is alarmed by the worsening insecurity in the country as evident in the rising cases of mass killings, banditry, kidnap for ransom and acts of terrorism by assailants who are emboldened by the manifest laidback attitude of the APC administration to issues of security, especially in the last nine months.
“The BoT is seriously worried over the fall of the Naira to an abysmal N1,500 to the dollar, incessant increase in the pump price of fuel which now sells for over N700 per litre with long queues in various parts of the country.
“The BoT calls on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to know that the situation in the country has become unbearable. Mr. President should immediately address the issues of corruption in his administration, worsening insecurity in the country, continuous fall in the value of the Naira, high fuel price, unbearable food scarcity and unemployment in the country,” the communique read.
