Agbaje Tipped For PDP National Chairman by eyeview: 10:15pm On Jul 23, 2016 |
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State during the 2015 election, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, is being tipped for the position of the party’s national chairman. A competent party source confided in our correspondent yesterday that the choice of Agbaje as chairman has received the approval of key party organs and stakeholders in virtually all the six geo-political zones. The source, who craved anonymity because he is not mandated to divulge the information, said the South-East zone is the most favourably disposed to having the former governorship candidate lead the party. The decision to settle for Agbaje was said to have emerged from well thought out permutations on various elective positions ahead of the 2019 general elections. For instance, the party has zoned its 2019 presidential ticket to the North, which automatically disqualifies any chairmanship candidate from the region. Similarly, the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, is being primed for the vice president ticket. The party’s immediate past Deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, is also said to be in reckoning to retain the position, with the backing of the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Nyesom Wike. Power brokers in the PDP were said to have picked Agbaje after extensive deliberations in the past weeks. He was said to have received more vocal approval than several others considered for the job. The party leaders were said to have mapped out a strategy to ensure that they are not openly seen to be working for Agbaje’s emergence. Our source said the former governorship candidate will be made to seek the party’s nomination alongside others with all aspirants treated equally. “But plans are afoot for massive mobilisation of delegates in the six geo-political zones for Agbaje’s candidature at the upcoming convention to ensure his emergence. “His backers have decided not to persuade other aspirants to step down, in order to avoid recriminations that could ignite fresh crisis in the party,” the source added. The party yesterday inaugurated an 83-member zoning committee charged with the responsibility of deciding the zones that will take the available positions at the national level. The committee is chaired by the Ebonyi State Governor, Mr. Dave Umahi, with his Gombe State counterpart, Ibrahim Dankwabo, as deputy and former Benue State Governor, Mr. Gabriel Suswam, as secretary. The committee also has notable party chieftains across the six geo-political zones as members. It is expected to submit its report within seven days, after which the sale of nomination forms will commence for the convention billed to hold in Port Harcourt on August 17. Caretaker committee chairman of the PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, charged the zoning committee to be fair and just in its assignment. He advised that positions should not be restricted to only one state in a zone but thrown open to aspirants in all the states in the various zones. Makarfi decried the previous arrangement under the leadership of Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff, which led to the May 21 botched convention. According to him, only one nomination form was made available for each position, including the chairmanship. Also addressing newsmen shortly after the inauguration ceremony, the spokesman for the caretaker committee, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, said no member of the committee will be contesting any of the available positions. Adeyeye said the window of reconciliation with the Sheriff group remained open, but added that the condition given by the group that the caretaker committee be dissolved is untenable. http://thenationonlineng.net/agbaje-tipped-pdp-national-chair/ |

aresa:The way you always seem to drag igbos into any topic is pathetic. More often than not,people with such bigotry are often from poor homes. You have my sympathy. Now on the topic,let me educate you since you are too childish to see far into the plan(even when it is boldly written in the news). It was stated there that the south east gave their support to agbaje. That alone is an indication that igbos are the least tribalistic people in this nation. In 1979,yorubas voted Awolowo and lost while igbos voted Shagari/ekwueme and won. In 1999,they voted obj(a non igbo),even ekwueme who lost to obj called on igbos to vote him. Your people voted falae and lost. In 2007,igbos and south south voted yaradua(a non igbo),Tinubu backed Atiku and yorubas lost with him. In 2011,igbos voted GEJ(a non igbo) and tinubu again threw in Ribadu and Adeola and yorubas lost with him. Yorubas only vote their own brother and they want to paint others as tribal. Hypocrisy. Kid,if you have deeper insight,you will see that by ceding that office to south west,the VP automatically goes to south east which is a better office. Besides,igbos know that agbaje is a more modern and suave politician with no dent of efcc chain on him. It marks the gradual phase off of the politics of 1st republic grandfathers(as still obtained in apc) and begining of a new generation. It takes some smart people to know that. Don't worry kid,as you grow older you will understand 3 Likes |

If true then PDP has started thinking positively. But until then.... Zobo beckons |
Re: Agbaje Tipped For PDP National Chairman by aresa: 10:05am On Jul 24, 2016 |
eyeview: 1. ibo people voted for Agbaje because he was a member of the PDP and the same party ibo people follow follow for 16 unproductive years. You voted for agbaje not because of his yoruba tribe, you dod because you all belong to the PDP, you could have shown that you are not tribal by voting for Buhari. 2. ibo people voting agbaje didn't have anything to do with ibo not being tribalistic, in fact it was based on tribalism and the fat that agabje was Yoruba made zero difference, abaje Yoruba or not doesn't represent our interest in Yorubaland and his party was anti Lagos state and developments in Lagos state and ibo people generally always align with people with who are against the interest of Yoruba people. ibo people eat and breath tribalism all day, every day and 24/7, this is what people all over the world know about you people. 1 Like |
