Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Uche Secondus will address the Nigerian media today on the outcome of the Bayelsa and Kogi governorship elections, where the party was thrashed by the ruling All Progressives Congress.

The APC also won a House of Assembly rerun in Bayelsa and its candidate, Smart Adeyemi, is at the verge of toppling PDP incumbent, Senator Dino Melaye in Kogi West.

PDP National Publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan announced Secondus press conference on Thursday at the end of the meeting of the PDP National Working Committee. The PDP Board of Trustees also met on Thursday, as the party reviewed the losses in the two states.

Senator Walid Jibrin, chairman BOT said the body has recommended the setting-up of a committee to probe the actions of PDP members which made the party to lose the two states in the November 16 elections.

And that may include former President Goodluck Jonathan, who reportedly favoured the APC governor-elect David Lyon in Bayelsa.

But Ologbodiyan, speaking after the NWC meeting said the NWC did not discuss sanctioning Jonathan.

“The issue of former President Goodluck Jonathan did not come up at the meeting and it was not discussed.

“You must know about the procedure and processes in our party. If we do not have a report or an issue before us, we cannot delve into it.

“As we speak now, we do not have any matter concerning Jonathan before us in the party,” he said.
