Uproar over PDP chairmanship

A special meeting of select stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), held in Abuja, on Wednesday night, to deliberate on how to avoid a rancorous national convention in December ended in a stalemate.

The deadlock was as a result of alleged attempts by some stakeholders to gjve the national chairmanship position to the South-South through flimsy excuses.

The move, it was gathered, was resisted by members from the South-West, who rejected it and made it clear that it was one assault too many and an insult on the people of the zone.

The meeting was attended by some former governors, serving governors, members of the Board of Trustees (BoT) and elders of the party.
