Former President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, are reportedly under pressure to sack the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, over what stakeholders described as embarrassing litany of corruption charges.
It will recalled that workers at the PDP National Secretariat, Abuja, had accused members of the NWC of massive corruption including alleged sharing of money realized from the sale of forms for the 2015 general elections.
The allegations came after the management announced its decision to reduce the staff strength at the secretariat by 50 per cent and salary cut by the same ration.
According to a report by The Nation, party sources said the workers had forwarded their grievances to Dr. Jonathan and other stakeholders, adding that the stakeholders have already launched into consultations to save the party from further embarrassment.
The sources also said the stakeholders were being pressurized to prevail on the National Executive Committee (NEC) to dissolve the NWC forthwith on account of the allegations.
A top source in the party, quoted by the report, said: “The workers have taken their protest to Jonathan, who is the leader of the party and the BOT. They are mounting pressure for the sack of the NWC by NEC.
