The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, Senator Walid Jibrin, has warned its members against aligning with presidential aspirants before its primaries.
Jibrin, who spoke at a meeting with PDP presidential aspirants on Thursday night, said members of the BoT should remain as the conscience of the party, hence they should not move about campaigning with aspirants.
He warned that any member of BoT who move about with any aspirant should resign from the BoT.
According to him, “We are the one that will settle the complaints brought before the board by any of the aspirants in case there were any grievances before or after the presidential primary slated for October 5 and 6 in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
“If you are a member of BoT, you remain as a member of the BoT and the conscience of the party. They should not move about with any aspirant.
“If we are really the conscience of the party, we should not move about with aspirants. That was what happened during the last national convention when we elected the national chairman.
“Some of us went and pitched camp with aspirants, taking them all over the place. This time, we will not allow that to happen.
“Anyone of us who move about with any aspirant should resign from the BoT. We are the one that will settle the complaints.
“If we are involved, it will not be fair. So, we have told the members not to campaign with the aspirants; we are also the delegates. ”
