Ex-governors, Southwest reject PDP’s plan for chair

Published

Former governors and Southwest Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders yesterday rejected the Enugu plan to choose a national chairman.

The Enugu decision by leaders of the PDP left the contest open to all candidates from the South instead of micro-zoning the position to the Southwest, a zone yet to produce the chairman since the formation of PDP in 1998.

The ex-governors insisted that the Southwest should get the slot automatically.

A former governor at the session, who spoke with The Nation correspondent, said: “We have rejected a vital part of the Enugu Accord, which has left the contest for the office of PDP National Chairman open. This clause has negated our last agreement in Port Harcourt that the post should be zoned to the Southwest”.
