….As Group Accuses National Chairman, NOS
The seeming distance but resonant upheaval bedeviling the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is presently snowballing into a protracted situation as the composition of the Party`s presidential campaign organization has again been visited by some aggrieved stakeholders.
Though there have been agitations in many quarters over what some regarded cult-like composition of the council, Some stakeholders in the party have particularly raised alarm over the alleged exclusion of some members of the National Working Committee (NWC) from the party presidential campaign organization.
The stakeholders accused the National Chairman of the party, Senator Iyorcha Ayu, and the National Organizing Secretary (NOS), Umar Bature as the brain behind the exclusion and the crisis rocking the party.
Truth Live News reported last week about some members who accused Mr. Bature of running the PDP secretariat as sole administrator.
Specifically, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) youths under the aegis of South-South Youth Vanguard, pointed out that Ayu is running a Northern agenda in the party.
The PDP youths, in a statement by its National Chairman, James Efe Akpofure, expressed concern that Ayu is not carrying members of the NWC along, adding that his administration has polarized the party.
The group said that while the other members of the NWC are not involved in the campaign, Ayu and Bature are everywhere with the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar.
The group noted that the likes of the Financial Secretary, Publicity Secretary, National Treasurer, National Secretary, National Auditor, National Vice Chairman, South-South, among other members have been neglected from the campaign.
The PDP Youth Vanguard also noted that the way the party’s National Chairman is carrying on with activities in the party is giving stakeholders concern.
They warned that if Ayu and Bature failed to retrace their steps and carry every member of the NWC along, it would affect the party and its elections.
