PDP denies meeting Jonathan over Yar'Adua's successor

G-53, AC, others urge action on critical issues

THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied meeting with Vice President Goodluck Jonathan over the issue of a successor to the President, Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, who is in a hospital in Saudi Arabia over illness.

The denial came as more groups and individuals continued to harp on the need to follow the Constitution instead of sentimentality and blind loyalty of government functionaries on the issue of President Yar'Adua's ill-health. They include the Group of 53 (G-53) politicians and the Action Congress (AC).
