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.
