BEVERLY HILLS, January 27, (THEWILL) – Former Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, on Wednesday pronounced himself chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Reports indicate that 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, including 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 announced that his decision to take over the leadership of the party was backed by 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.
He called on the NWC of the party to work with him in order to move the party forward in order to strengthen the opposition.
