President Jonathan Rejects Political Position From APC

President Goodluck Jonathan

Abuja — President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, turned down a proposal by members of the Board of Trustees, BoT, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to take over the position of the chairman of the board.

Briefing State House correspondents after the meeting of the board, secretary of the board, Senator Wali Jibrin, said the board instead appointed a former Minister of Defence, Dr. Haliru Bello Muhammed, in acting capacity for a period of two or three months.

While resigning his position as the BoT chairman last week, Chief Tony Anenih said he was doing so to pave the way for President Jonathan to take over.
