BREAKING: Gulak declares self PDP chairman

Former Special Adviser to President Goodluck
Jonathan on Political Matters, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak,
on Wednesday pronounced himself the substantive
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Gulak made the pronouncement inside the National
Working Committee Hall at the party’s national
secretariat in Abuja.
He spoke in company with his loyalists, which
included former Special Assistant to ex-president,
Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin
Okupe and a former Commissioner in Bayelsa
State, Chief Ayakeme Whisky.
Gulak said he decided to take over the leadership
of the party following the court order of December
16, 2015, which asked the party to name someone
from the North-East to replace the former chairman
of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu.
Gulak told the cheering crowd, which included
workers at the secretariat, that the NWC must work
with him in order to move the party forward.
