The
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Tony Anenih,
has said his resignation Wednesday, was to allow President Goodluck Jonathan
take over the position.
Mr. Anenih had earlier resigned his position citing the current
state of affairs in the party as his reason. In a one-page letter President Goodluck Jonathan, the leader of
the party, Mr. Anenih said his decision to quit would enable the president to
effectively assume the chairmanship of the BoT.
The letter dated May 20, 2015 and titled: “Notice of my decision
to step down as Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party.”
Mr. Jonathan leaves office on May 29 following his defeat by his
All Progressives Congress challenger, Muhammadu Buhari, in the March 28
presidential election.
The letter reads: “Your Excellency will recall that in a
conversation I had with you a few weeks ago, I had offered to step down from
the office of the Chairman of our party’s Board of Trustees and proposed to
hand over to you as its new Chairman in a ceremony that would have taken place
on the 23rd of May, 2015. I had also repeated this position in our subsequent
meetings.
“As a follow up to the above proposal and in view of the current
state of affairs in our party, I have decided to formally put my offer in
writing to enable you effectively assume the Chairmanship of Board of Trustees
or approve a process that will enable any other member of the BoT who is
considered competent, to assume the position.
“Kindly accept therefore, this letter as notice of my decision
to step down from the position of Chairman of the BoT of our party with effect
from today, the 20th of May, 2015.
“I am happy to inform you that, I remain a loyal foundation
member of our great party and will continue to pray for the prosperity of
Nigeria, our party, and for you and your family.
“Your Excellency, kindly accept the expression of my highest
regards,” the letter said.
Mr. Anenih’s resignation followed a similar decision by the
party’s chairman, Adamu Mu’azu, who also stepped down on Wednesday as the
ruling party faces its gravest crisis in its 16-year history
