In a related developmen­t, the chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees (BOT), Senator Walid Jibrin, has condemned the recent sectional meeting held by three South West trustees vying for the national chairmansh­ip of the PDP.

Jibrin said the meeting was null and void, stressing that its outcome was not binding on the conduct of the convention holding next month.
