Walid Jibrin, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Board of Trustees, has claimed that it is unfair for the party to have a candidate for president and national chairman from the north.
However, the BoT Chairman implied that Senator Iyorcha Ayu, the party’s National Chairman, wouldn’t resign until Atiku Abubakar had been elected president of Nigeria in 2023.
Due to the fact that Northerners hold every important post in the main opposition party, there has been a crisis in the party over the current leadership structure.

Members from the North hold the offices of the party’s national chairman, board of trustees chairman, and presidential candidate.
“To tell the truth, it will not be fair for the Presidential candidate to be from the North and the party Chairman to be from the North and the BoT Chairman also from the North,” Jibrin said on Channels Television.
He added, “but look at what is there, I have a tenure of five years and I’ve spent four and a half years already. Only six months remaining for me but I know I can go any time. Definitely, I can sacrifice my position.
“If an election has been held and Atiku has been declared as president in 2023, why would he [Ayu] not leave. Whether he likes it or not, he must leave.

“For me, I’m too eager to leave. What I’m saying is that we should wait until this committee set up to reconcile Wike and Atiku has finished their work, then we’ll now go ahead to address the other complaints. Asking him to resign now will not answer the question.”
