The PDP BoT Chairman, Senator Walid Jibrin, in an interview with journalists in Abuja, said the BoT, during its meeting, noted the accusations and counter-accusations against its members.
He
said adequate punishment will be recommended for those
found culpable. He added that the probe was not on a specific individual but
generally. He also said the BoT recommended a peace committee to probe into
the issues in Edo, Lagos and Kano. Jibrin said, “We recommended a
committee that will investigate the outcome of the election in Kogi and
Bayelsa.
“We are very concerned with what is happening in Nigerian politics, especially recently in Kogi and Bayelsa.
