Hours before voting gets underway at the convention of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the leaders of the party in the South-West have forged a common front with the adoption of Professor Tunde Adeniran as the consensus candidate for the zone.

The decision to present Adeniran, who is a former Ambassador to Germany, was taken at a meeting of the leaders from the zone convened by a former governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja and held till the early hours of Saturday in Abuja.

A communiqué issued at the end of the meeting and signed by Ladoja said: “From consultations with stakeholders from various zones, we gathered that from all zones, the stakeholders who prefer to back the South-West zone for the position suggested that we should prune down the number, if possible, to one person.


“To reciprocate this laudable gestures, meetings of the seven (7) aspirants were held with Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja as the convener on Wednesday 6, Thursday 7, Friday 8 and Saturday 9, December with the sole aim of agreeing on a consensus candidate.

“We all agreed that the chances of one person winning are better than those of seven people who are likely to divide the votes coming to the zone.

“Since then, Mr Jimi Agbaje, Chief Olabode George, Senator Rashidi Ladoja and Mr Olusegun Aderemi have withdrawn from the race.

“Accordingly, I am of the opinion that Professor Tunde Adeniran should become our consensus candidate for the South-West zone.

“I am hereby appealing to all lovers of the South-West zone to support the candidature of Professor Tunde Adeniran to clinch the position of the national chairman of our great party, PDP,” Ladoja said

Since morning

When we tell them that SW sabi politics, they will call us different names....

Useless Party!

Let a SW'ener win and completely obliterate whatever life that remains within the Party.

politiffs na dirty game

His name has not be associated with much corruption saga ,so he is a better candidate.
Congratulations in advance Mr. Chairman

All these SW fraudsters will sell the party during the 2019 election for just small money

Good move.

Wike go believe politics

See gang up against WIKE and SECONDUS.

Ok

Now, this is common sense! Instead of divide their votes between plenty candidates that won't hold water, they direct the bullet to one single person.. Talk of Unity of Purpose

Nice one if true

The press release was silent on Otunba Gbenga Daniels or was he not part of the meeting?

Wike how market?

mynd44 lalasticlala do the needful

Adeniran is a good man.

Not a fresh blood but a clean blood... unlike the so called SECUNDUIT(conduit pipe for corruption) abi SECONDUs the same crooks that have ran the party aground

hes not a politician
pdp seems to be suffering from dearth of good people
imagine selfish ladoja that killed his party in oyo state or the ex con george

Lol. Smh. All these ancient politicians and their cunny ways. Candidate is a handsome old man though. Not overbloated and looking like he just escaped from poverty.

Political calculation. Anyway, let's wait and see how it will unfold.
All the best.

Best interest for PDP to have a SW chairman. They will everly get block vote from SS & SE, get 50% vote from SW, get 60% vote from NE and get 50% from NC then its goodbye to the Duara man

Nice!

Unity.... that's what SW APC and SW PDP needs.

Support. Unity. Conquer.

Be it APC or PDP.
