PDP convention must hold in Ibadan as planned – Adamawa Gov, Fintiri

The Chairman, Convention Planning Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, says the party is heading to Ibadan for the elective convention slated for Ibadan.

Fintiri made this known in an interview with newsmen shortly after a meeting on Thursday night.

The meeting, held at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, was attended by the Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, the PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagum, ex-Senate President, Bukola Saraki, the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba and ex-Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Tanimu Turaki, among others.

“We’ve just come out of our critical stakeholders’ meeting where a lot of elaborate decisions were taken.

“I want to tell you here that we are going to Ibadan for our convention, and the convention is sacrosanct,” Fintiri said.

Efforts to get further comments from him on the state of the party failed as his security aides quickly led him away.
