Report reaching the news desk of CEOAFRICA.com from Abuja, the capital of Nigeria is that the ongoing crises in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is far from being resolved, as the Abubakar Baraje-led faction ratified the election of its national working committee few minutes ago.

Despite the security siege at its national secretariat last weekend, the faction was able to release the list of national executives. The statement released from the office of its National Working Committee Secretary, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, reads thus;

“Despite the security siege at its national secretariat, the Abubakar Baraje- led Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), has ratified the election of its national officers. The stakeholders of the party across the country at a meeting in Abuja have ratified the election of members of its National Working Committee.”

“The NWC members are: Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, (Chairman); Dr. Sam Sam Jaja, (Deputy National Chairman); Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, (National Secretary); Hon. Maode Umar Hiliya (Deputy National Secretary).

“Others are Mr. Timi Frank (National Youth Leader); Hon Binta Koje, National woman leader; Mallam Nasir Issa (National Organising Secretary); Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze(National Publicity Secretary); Hon. Wadada (National Financial Secretary)and Mallam Tanko Isiaku Gomna (National Treasurer).

“The positions of National Auditor and that of National Legal Adviser which are zoned to the South East and South West respectfully will be announced soon.”

This came few hours to the Tuesday’s reconciliation peace talks in Abuja where former president Olusegun Obasanjo is expected to direct affairs.

It would be recalled that seven state governors and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar angrily left the just concluded mini national convention of the party held at Eagles Square in Abuja, and few hours later, they announced the formation of what they referred to as “The New PDP” which has Abubakar Baraje as National Chairman.
