The Chairman of the Ondo State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Fatai Adams, has been reported dead in the early hours of Wednesday.
The cause of his death has not been disclosed at the time of this report.
Kennedy Peretei, the publicity secretary of the PDP in Ondo State, confirmed the unfortunate incident.
While details surrounding Adams’ death remain undisclosed, Peretei assured that the party would issue an official statement to the media soon.
Adams had faced challenges within the party recently, as the State Working Committee of the PDP in Ondo State announced his suspension last month.
The suspension was reportedly linked to allegations of anti-party activities.
Meanwhile, the PDP confirmed the appointment of a former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara, as substantive chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) on Tuesday.
News About Nigeria reported that a former Governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi, was also appointed as the BoT Secretary to replace the former Minister of Special Duties, Kabir Turaki.
Speaking after his appointment at Wabara Plaza in Abuja, Wabara stated that democracy in Nigeria is in danger because, as a nation, Nigeria is heading towards one political party system.
He, however, noted that he believed that the survival of Nigeria’s democracy largely depends on the survival of the PDP.
Wabara, who accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of being behind the push for a one-party system in Nigeria, noted that the PDP would never allow that to happen.
According to him, the PDP is ready to frustrate the APC’s plot for a one-party system in Nigeria because they would fight to ensure that their party thrives and also destroy the agenda of the one-party system.
Wabara therefore charged members of the BoT to partner with him to ensure that the PDP does not die.
