FORMER Special Adviser on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak has called on the Board Of Trustee (BOT) and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to immediately elect him or any candidate from the North-East geo-political zone as a substantive national chairman to replace the embattled former chairman, Chief Uche Secondus, who was sacked by the court last December.
Gulak, who served under the immediate past president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, said at a press conference in Abuja yesterday that the court gave 14 days within which the party should either appoint him or any other person from the North-East geo-political zone as the acting chairman.
Gulak had filed a suit on November 11, 2015 through his lawyer, Mr. Jibrin S. Okutepa, SAN, challenging the emergence of Secondus as the interim leader of the party, arguing that he (Gulak) was the proper person to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of the former PDP Chairman, Adamu Muazu, who hails from the North East geopolitical zone.
According to him, “Fourteen days from the date of judgment expired on December 29, 2015. As it is today, the party has no properly constituted organ. The National Executive Council (NEC), the National Working Council (NWC) and the national caucus is to, by the constitution of our party, must at all times, every time, be chaired by a national chairman or acting chairman. As it is today, we don’t have national chairman and we don’t have acting chairman even with the court order.
