PDP Governors Push For New Chairman From North-Central

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in the midst of internal restructuring, with party governors reportedly agreeing to appoint a new national chairman from the North-Central region. 

This decision effectively sidelines current acting chairman Ambassador Iliya Damagum, as the party seeks to stabilize its leadership.

Former Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam and Dr. Emmanuel Agbo, Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum, are considered frontrunners for the position. 

Both are seen as neutral candidates who could help unify the party amid ongoing factional disputes.

The PDP’s National Executive Committee (NEC) is set to meet on October 24, 2024, to address these divisions and work towards resolving the party’s leadership crisis.

 Party members emphasize the need to adhere to the constitution and restore confidence within the PDP’s grassroots support.
