A News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent who monitored the party’s congress reports that the delegates unanimously endorsed Yahaya and other new officers of the party, except for four other positions that concession could not be reached.
The four positions are Assistant Financial Secretary, Auditor, Assistant Organising Secretary and Woman Leader.
NAN reports that the congress, which was peaceful was, however, interrupted with arguments among delegates.
The argument which lasted for about 20 minutes took the intervention of Sen. Philip Aduda, the Senator representing the FCT to resolve it.
Aduda urged the delegates to be calm as the disagreement on the positions would be amicably settled by the PDP FCT stakeholders.
He said “all of us that come here cannot get what we want but what we must do is consensus biding. Where there are problems, we will look into them and solve them amicably.
“What we want in PDP are the people. I cannot do it alone, I cannot vote for myself alone, and I cannot live for myself alone. I need people like all of you.”
The newly elected Chairman, PDP FCT chapter, Mr Yahaya Suleman, said that his agenda was to take the party back to the people to ensure that it got FCT by 2019.
He added that “the indices that were forgotten before shall now be reinvigorated and re-inverted into the process to ensure that power goes back to the people.
“This will allow people to vote for the candidate of their choice during the process of democratisation.
“I believe that is what will bring advancement to the people and sustain democracy in Nigeria.”
Other elected officers of the party include Mr Ibrahim Dikko as Deputy Chairman, Mr Samson Baba, Vice Chairman, Mr Saka Sunday, Youth Leader and Josie Itoyah-Splendour as the Publicity Secretary. (NAN)
