Less than seventy days to its national convention where new national officers would be elected, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has returned to another face of intrigues, political horse trading and wit games.
The struggle to secure votes from about 4,000 delegates expected to determine who controls the party is already putting party leaders, including the 13 state governors of PDP as well as other organs like the National Executive Committee , National Working Committee , to serious task.
It was confirmed that the party’s NEC may meet later in the week to decide on such crucial issues as venue, as well as persons who would serve in the convention planning committee. Also, the PDP governors’ forum, which is the party’s most influential body, is already at work. The Guardian learnt that consultations had reached advanced stage among the chief executives regarding who to pick for this job.
Although contenders for PDP’s number one office are yet to openly declare, it is gradually emerging that the incumbent, Uche Secondus, is set to stage a come back.
