A former Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose has hailed the new factional acting National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Mohammed Abdulrahman.

Fayose urged the new acting national chairman of the PDP to urgently bring peace and unity to the party, stressing that there was no better time to have a new direction for the party than now.

Alhaji Abdulrahman Mohammed, who is the Vice National Chairman (North Central) of the PDP, was named Acting National Chairman of the PDP, sequel to the suspension of the Chairman, Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum.

Fayose, while reacting to the emergence of Abdulrahman Mohammed, emphatically said that the PDP was in dire need of a new direction.

He urged the new Acting National Chairman to step in immediately to provide it.

According to him, “I congratulate the new chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Mohammed Abdulrahman. I urge him to unite the party and restore confidence in its members.

“Most importantly, he should look into the shenanigans and injustice done in States like Ekiti and others with a view to correcting them in accordance with the party constitution and existing court pronouncements.

“He should also be a team player and ensure the emergence of a new National Working Committee through a valid National Convention, which should be done immediately after outstanding congresses are held in states and zones, and those done against court judgements are revisited”, he addressed.
