Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo resign as Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s resignation as Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees has been accepted.

The Secretary of the Board, Senator Walid Jubril, confirmed this at the party’s secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday.

Jibril said the resignation was accepted at a board meeting in Abuja on Monday night. Jibril, who spoke with reporters after the party’s National Executive Committee meeting, also said Obasanjo attended the meeting.

He, however, said the board had yet to decide on Obasanjo’s replacement, saying a decision would be taken after the party had ratified its new constitution.

He said, “The BoT did not discuss Obasanjo’s replacement, but accepted his resignation. No one has been nominated or tipped to replace him for now.”
