There are reports that the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC), have agreed not to seek reelection in the forthcoming national convention of the party.
Chief Raymond Dokpesi, a chieftain of the party disclosed this in a statement in Abuja at the weekend
He stated that the party was getting itself ready to contest the general elections in 2023, as zoning must be done fairly for the emergence of a new chairman.
“Zoning must be done fairly and justly so that a new chairman will emerge. The members of the National Working Committee on their own have voluntarily agreed that they were not going to contest,” he said.
“And in which case, there was nothing to dispute about as long as they have agreed to step aside from the next convention on their own volition.
“Since they are out, then we can get more credible people to come in and contest. And with the re-zoning that will take place and so on, I think that PDP is really getting itself organised and ready for that 2023 election”, he added.
