PDP may have itself to blame if the impending mass exit from the party as threatened by the South East leaders of the party at a recent Zonal Executive Committee meeting happens, writes Deji Elumoye.
The troubles ravaging the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) took a dramatic turn for the worse last week when leaders of the party from the South East geo-political zone threatened to review the zone’s relationship with the party. At the centre of the rage was the position of the National Secretary zoned to the region.
The leaders of the party in the zone had in October, 2023 nominated Hon. Sunday Udeh-Okoye to serve out what they see as the remaining tenure of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who vacated office to fly the party’s flag in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Imo state. They insisted that by the party’s constitution and convention, there was no way Anyanwu could return to office as National Secretary.
