Tony Anenih, the Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) together with other
national leaders of the party met on Monday with the former President Olusegun
Obasanjo to discuss current issue that nation faces today and the fate of the
party. Meeting lasted about three hours at hilltop private residence of Mr.
Obasanjo in Abeokuta.
Later, Mr. Anenih, told journalists
that the meeting was centered on issues that affect the corporate existence of
Nigeria, insecurity, and issues within the party.
“I am here to see my leader. I am
here to pay my respect and indeed I am here with my colleagues, some member of
the board of trustees of our party to discuss some issues that affect the
corporate existence of this country; some issues about the insecurity of the
country and some issues about the party itself,” Mr. Anenih said.
Mr. Anenih declared that the meeting
was successful and he is delighted by the outcome.
“As you see, we are all smiling,
don’t you see me smiling? And my leader too is smiling. So we are quite happy
about the outcome. For now, it is not for public consumption,” he said.
The PDP leader refused to comment
concerning amnesty for Boko Haram.
“You want us to discuss the issue of
amnesty in public here? That is a security matter,” he stated.
Mr. Anenih also said that the PDP in
Ogun State would wax stronger as long as Mr. Obasanjo remained its leader.
‘Let me tell you, almost all of us
here are members of PDP in Ogun. So you cannot say that PDP is dead in Ogun
State. Leader of PDP is here, former president,” he emphasised.
“When the time comes, PDP is a party
to beat. When the time comes, I assure we will do what we know how to do best,”
he said.
Mr. Anenih and the PDP Board of
Trustees have been holding meetings with leaders of the party across Nigeria in
order to resolve lingering issues causing discord among party members.
