The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has fixed August 17 for a fresh national convention to elect new executives to run the party’s affairs.
The convention is slated for Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The party has also zoned the chairmanship position to the Southern part of the country, while the 2019 presidential ticket will still go to the North.
However, it was not stated which zone in the South will produce the chairman out of the three contending zones of Southeast, Southwest and South-south.
Rising from an enlarged meeting of critical organs and stakeholders in Abuja on Thursday, the party announced the setting aside of the previous zoning arrangements for its national executive positions.
Addressing journalists shortly after the meeting, the Chairman of the PDP caretaker committee, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, said a new zoning arrangement would be announced in 48 hours.
Conspicuous at the meeting was Senator Buruji Kashamu, a prominent chieftain in the rival Ali Modu Sheriff camp.
Makarfi specially announced Kashamu’s presence, stating gleefully that the presence of the Ogun State born politician was an indication that the two camps have closed ranks.
Sheriff did not attend the meeting and there was no explanation for his absence.
Kashamu declined comments on the state of affairs in the Sheriff camp, as he tactically avoided questions from journalists.
“The presence of Senator Kashamu at this meeting is enough evidence that we are making progress and that we have not foreclosed the option of reconciliation,” Makarfi said.
Makarfi, who chaired the meeting, further stated that the party had proposed amendments to its constitution to reflect recent court pronouncements regarding certain sections.
The former Kaduna State governor also announced the setting up of a special committee to reconcile the various contending groups in the Southwest zone.
The committee, which is headed by the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu is expected to commence its assignment in the days ahead.

Kashamu does not speak for Sheriff. Discountenance this news from the corrupt expired BOT

Why FTC on your own thread
Anyways PDP should just forget about the north and focus on the middle belt. If they can fish out someone from the middle belt with a clean record and beg him to come out in 2019 and with the chairman being from the south, they can join forces from the south south, south east and middle belt to give the south west and core north a run for their money.

PDP to rule nigeria come 2019! Zombies can die for all I care

Noted

What I read was PDP to hold a requiem mass August 17th.

What more is there to salvage from this carcass really after the vultures had their feast??

The party has also zoned the chairmanship position to the Southern part of the country,

Omenka, this is what will further polarize them, 3 zones on top one ticket, the blood letting will be without par.

You don't discard dangerous wastes in dustbins, you incinerate them- lest they pollute the wastes around them!

Chai, imagine the waste of PDP being so dangerous it is capable of polluting waste!

I guess that is the date for PDP burial.

PDP is dead!




Nice job ,Sherrif my guy!

The date for the lying in state and final burial of the killer party

Hope they would serve jollof rice and while we celebrate the demise of the useless party

Ok

If after this convention and PDP internal crisis is not settled, then PDP is as good as been a dead political party because they might not win further elections in Nigeria even in their strongholds!

You can't even organise a party and you want to lead a nation. Bunch of drug addicts

PDP....POWER

Change the Changer![/size]

Change the change

The Sheriff camp are now identifying with the reality, maybe Fayose finally settled with my advise for him The main PDP is Markafi care taker commity and the people at the Shariff camp re the people who thought they re the back bones of PDP and also gladiators in PDP, unfortunatly a tree or two and three can not make a forest, but Fayose and Kashamu has finally realised that their party has been their shelter from many arrows on their political goals, hense they will quietly back-sneek in through the available windows.
