Settle leadership crises in 7 days or we will take over – PDP Youths warn party

      

Youth groups within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Tuesday threatened to take over the party if the leadership tussle currently rocking the party is not resolved within seven days.
Chairman of the coalition, Aderemi Olusegun, gave the warning at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja while addressing reporters.
Olusegun said youth of the party felt it was necessary to come together and take a position in the interest of the party following the failure of its leaders to form a quorum since the Port Harcourt convention.

He said, “We are giving the leadership of the party (which includes the BOT, Governors’ Forum, warring groups and other stakeholders) a 7-day ultimatum to resolve this intractable but avoidable rancour.

“However, if this is not resolved, we shall be compelled to mobilize all concerned youths nationwide to take over the affairs of the party, as we have started putting in place an effective structure to take over the party secretariat.”
Stressing that the opposition party was bigger than any individuals or groups, Olusegun maintained that the youth had resolved to “henceforth not tolerate anyone who tries to take the party for a ride.
“We are, therefore, demanding the immediate withdrawal of all pending litigation in the court of law, so that we can amicably resolve all issues,” he said
