PDP CHAIRMANSHIP: SOUTH WEST FAVOURED,GBENGA DANIEL BEING CONSIDERED * PDP Governors Forum endorse Gbenga Daniel * Gbadamosi express willingness to step down for Daniel As National convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scheduled to hold on August 17 draws near, more persons are being thrown up for the chairmanship position while the former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel from the SouthWest is being considered. The names that have propped up so far include; former chairman of Daar Communications Plc., parent body of African Independent Television (AIT), Chief Raymond Dokpesi; a member of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Bode George; former deputy national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus. Also on the block, are, former minister, Prof. Tunde Adeniran; Chief Shuaibu Oyedokun; as well as the party’s governorship candidate for Lagos State in the 2015 general elections, Mr. Jimi Agbaje; and former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel whom it was learnt yesterday was being rooted for by PDP Governors. “The Governors and other stakeholders are actually looking for a young and vibrant person, not persons like Bode George … the governors are not disposed to Bode George,” one of the sources close to the PDP hierarchy claimed. Furthermore, the source argued the tussle presently, was between Agbaje and Daniel and that the Governors particularly those from South West would have to make up their minds who out of the two, would be best suited for the job of the party chairman. However, when contacted to clear the air on his ambition to run for the national chairmanship position, Agbaje said the whole news remained a rumour because nobody has approached him and neither has he approached anybody over such ambition. According to him, “In politics, people throw up a lot of kites, this was probably one of it because all that matters most for now was the repositioning of the party to make it stronger and viable ahead of the 2019 elections. Meanwhile, a PDP stalwart, who vied for the Governorship ticket of the Party in Lagos State, Babatunde Gbadamosi has expressed his willingness to step down and support Otunba Gbenga Daniel whom he believes is a credible personality for the Chairmanship position among other personalities giving a boost to ensuring the former Governor emerges as the National Chairman of the Party. He expressed this on a facebook reaction where he wrote, "Now this is someone I would gladly step down for and fully endorse and not those dealers from Lagos". Sources asserted that though the party's chairmanship has been zoned to the South,majority of the stakeholders including the governors were convinced that the Sout-West geo-political zone should produce the next chairman. So far only two aspirants have indicated interest for the position of chairman that are not from the South West zone – Dokpesi and Secondus. They are from South South, while no one has aspired from the South East and the entire north. The chairman of the PDP National Caretaker Committee, Ahmed Makarfi had, during the inauguration of the committee said that it was “senseless for the party to zone both the presidency and chairmanship to the same region.” “So far, the sentiments within us and even among the governors are that the office of the chairman should berth in the South West and I think they deserve it,” another source volunteered. This may have informed the hurried reconciliation meeting at the Ondo Governors Lodge at Abuja, convened to close the different ranks of PDP members in the South West. This was followed up with another parley in Lagos at the weekend apparently to ensure that the zone present a formidable front in the bid for the chairmanship at the rescheduled national convention in Port Harcourt. Meanwhile as efforts to reconcile the warring factions in the PDP South West zone continued, which were aimed at enabling the zone produce a harmonised list of delegates for the planned national convention, a group, PDP Youth Advocates has called on the national leadership of the party to narrow the zoning of the national chairmanship position to the south west zone. In demanding for this, the Advocates also urged the PDP key players in the region to consider the experience, age and popularity of the Former Governor of Ogun state,Otunba Gbenga Daniel above any other thing, in choosing its candidate. A group known as "The Reformers" believe that a lover of Youth like Engr. Gbenga Daniel was best suitable. In their words, "the PDP at a time like this needs not just anyone to lead but a manager, an administrator, a vibrant leader and a lover of youth who can serve as a bridge to all, and Otunba Gbenga Daniel fits into that position very well". They stated that Daniel, is cerebral, charismatic and visionary, stressing that "he is a great mobillizer with experience and he has good relationship with all the other aspirants. It was gathered that even though some youths, which include the Youth Vanguard and other influential groups have shown interest in Gbenga Daniel aspiration for the job, the governors and other prominent members of the region were also said to be tipping Daniel.

DropShot: The national chairmanship position was zoned to the whole of south,ie southwest,southeast and south-south ..So each zone will have to present their own candidate for the office of national chairman of the party,thereafter the politicking and lobbing begins. 1 Like |
