Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Walid Jibrin, has said that he would remain a member of the Party till he breathed his last.
Sen. Jibrin also said he stood by his comments about the inherent injustice in the PDP where the North holds the position of Presidential Candidate, National Chairman and BoT chairman at the same time.
He spoke against the backdrop of reservations expressed by some of the feuding party members over his comments as contained in an interview he granted Channels Television.
