The umbrella party recently appointed Abia state elder statesman Adolphus Wabara as chairman of the PDP BoT following agitation in a bid to bring down the tension in the party.
The PDP has been in crisis since it conducted its presidential primary in May, where another northerner emerged as the party’s presidential candidate.
What will happen if Ayu did not resign as PDP chairman?
There have been calls to remove the party’s national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, who promised to step down if a northern presidential candidate emerged from the party’s primary.
However, since the emergence of Atiku Abubakar, a northerner from Adamawa, as the party’s flagbearer, Ayu has refused to honour his words, which has fueled the crisis more.
Some southern leaders in the party have vowed to boycott the campaign of Atiku if Ayu did not resign, arguing that the north cannot hold the party's presidential ticket and still have the national chairman.
How did Nnamani's name get to APC presidential campaign council list?
Nnamani, whose name was surprisingly found in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council list, took to his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday, September 28, stating that the Igbo’s alliance with the north has not always been favourable.
He called on his people to restrategise and rework their political mathematics while adding that only the APC that says the south can be president.
