PDP Chairmanship : There was tension yesterday at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national secretariat as Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, a former political adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, declared himself the national chairman.
Gulak, who arrived at the secretariat at about 1.45 pm, was accompanied by a horde of supporters, including former presidential spokesman Dr. Doyin Okupe.
Apparently with the knowledge of the invasion by Gulak and his group, members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) stayed away from the secretariat after locking up their offices and major conference rooms.

Speaking to reporters on his mission, Gulak said he came to assume office as national chairman on the strength of a December 16 High Court judgment voiding the appointment of Prince Uche Secondus as acting national chairman.
According to him, a stay of execution of the judgment filed by Secondus was struck out yesterday by the court where the application was filed. PDP Chairmanship
