PDP Chair: Aspirants Fail To Agree On Consensus Candidate

Hope that a consensus candidate will emerge among the aspirants for national chairmanship of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the December 9 national convention of the party dimmed yesterday.

A meeting of four aspirants who met at the residence of media mogul, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, who is also a contender failed to produce a consensus candidate for the party’s national chairmanship position.

This was the second meeting the aspirants were holding since they were unveiled on October 24 at the PDP National Secretariat.

Other aspirants who attended the meeting are former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel; former minister of Sports, Prof. Taoheed Adedoja and former governorship aspirant of PDP in Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje.

Other aspirants in the race are former Minister of Education, Prof Tunde Adeniran; former deputy national chairman, Chief Bode George and former acting national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus.
