Immediate past National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan has hailed the position taken by the members of the Board of Trustees at its meeting on Thursday in Abuja.
The BoT of the PDP, under the Chairmanship of Senator Adolphus Wabara, had asked party supporters from the North Central geo-polical zone to immediately convene a meeting to nominate a replacement for the ousted National Chairman of the party, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu.
Reacting to the development, in a statement issued by him, Ologbondiyan
described the decision as very timely and commendable.
