Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers from the South-east in the National Assembly have threatened to boycott the party’s national convention if the woman leader, which was originally zoned to Imo State, is hijacked by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for South-south.
Checks revealed that the position was initially zoned to the South-east with Imo State the favoured state and current South-east zonal woman leader, Mrs. Arodiogbu Ifeyinwa, billed to clinch it before Governor Peter Mba of Enugu State nominated an Enugu woman who recently followed him to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), thereby giving Imo PDP a chance to clinch the position.
A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Imo Ugochinyere, in a statement issued Sunday, said that they would issue a disclaimer against the convention in two weeks and would not participate if South-east is humiliated by those who want to rubbish an entire region.
