The National Executive Committee (NEC) of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday, appointed Senator Ali
Modu-Sheriff from Borno State as the new National Chairman of the
party to replace Adamu Mu’azu.

members of the National Assembly, Board of Trustees and National
Working Committee of the party.
Following
other nominations at the NEC meeting, Senator Sheriff emerged the new
National Chairman with 60 out of 71 voting NEC members present voting
in his favour.
The new
National Chairman was sworn-in by the PDP lawyer, Barrister Emeka
Etiaba (SAN) in a short ceremony at the party’s National
Secretariat.
The
appointment was in keeping with section 47 (6) of the PDP
Constitution, which empowers the NEC to fill a vacant position with a
person from the zone where the officer originated from.
