Senator Walid Jibrin
TVC E, POLITICS – The embattled chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Haliru Mohammed has been replaced with Senator Walid Jibrin.
The decision changing the leadership of the BoT was conveyed by Jibrin at a briefing in Abuja on Wednesday and was also listed in a communiqué issued after a meeting of the BoT held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.
Mohammed is currently standing trial for his alleged involvement in the $2.1 billion arms purchase scam, allegedly spearheaded by the immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki who is also standing trial over the scam.
Until his elevation on Wednesday, Jibrin was the Secretary of the BoT and he is to occupy the position in acting capacity pending the appointment of a substantive chairman.
Meanwhile, Jubrin still remains the substantive BoT Secretary for the time being.
