Nigeria In One Minute

Funding gaps, intrigues, threaten PDP convention

Published

on

Barely one week to the make or mar national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), its lean finances could throw spanner in its works, especially in the face of major funders plotting to have their way.

In addition to that, with the rancour and deep suspicion that currently exists among contestants, particularly national chairmanship candidates, the party’s leadership has been drawn into a brewing crisis, which if not quelled could have dire consequences.

But despite the arm-twisting tactics of moneybags in the party, and allegations of bias levelled against its leadership, a top-ranking leader of the party claims the leadership is still very much in charge, and would not allow its independence to be eroded.
