Embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ali Modu Sheriff, has appointed Cairo Ojougboh as the party's acting Deputy Chairman.
Ojuogboh, before his appointment as Deputy National Chairman by Sheriff, was the immediate past National Vice chairman (South-South) of the PDP; but he was one of the officials who were sacked from their positions at the party's May 21 Port-Harcourt convention.
The new appointment letter, signed by Sheriff and his faction's National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo, stated: "Please be informed that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party in a meeting held on the 28th of June 2016, and having received nomination from the Concerned PDP stakeholders (Abuja Convention Group) and major stakeholders in the South-south has appointed you (Ojougboh) as the Acting Deputy National Chairman of the party pending the conduct of election to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of the erstwhile Deputy National Chairman. This appointment takes immediate effect."
Ojuogboh was appointed to replace Uche Secondus who has since identified with the Makarfi-led faction of the PDP.
