The failure of the 12 presidential aspirants of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, to agree on a consensus candidate has delayed the start of the party’s convention in Port Harcourt.
The 12 aspirants met earlier in the day but after almost an hour of deliberation, there was no agreement on a consensus candidate.

According to a reliable source, the meeting ended in deadlock as all the aspirants vowed to continue with their campaign.


“It was difficult to agree on a consensus candidate as each of the aspirants argued on their individual strengths and urged others to step down. The power brokers in the partyare looking at this and how to avert any post-convention crisis. Meetings and consultations are expected to continue,” the source said.


Few minutes after the meeting, there was celebration in the camp of the governor of Sokoto state over the rumour that the former Accountant – General of the Federation and governor of Gombe state, Ibrahim Dankwambo has agreed to step downfor the former speaker of the House of Representatives.


However, the rumour has been denied by the Dankwambo camp. One of his aides who craved anonymity said it is not possible for the two-term governor to step down for Tambuwal who recently re-joined the party


The convention originally billed for 10am is yet to start as at the time of filing this report at 5:05pm.

THE REAL FIGHT HAS NOT STARTED YET.. AKAPTA!!!

Well, if them like make them postpone am. My mind tells me that 2019 election won't hold. Things may turn around. Who knows?
But for now, it's still 'BIAFRA' we demand!!!

If you reside in portharcourt guard yah woman properly this weekend,PDP men are in town those Lizards can loot anything Wo!

They should better step down for Saraki

PDP wicked ooo, they come filed 12 aspirants making it unpredictable to Nigerian Pastors. Which kind wickedness be this?
I beg, who go break silence

Oshemole, Your Prodigal Children will Soon Comeback Home.

Please, Kindly Accept them and also organise a welcome Dinner for them in the Presidential Villa with Bubu.

Because, they went, they Saw but couldn't Conquer

Ok nah

One thing is quite certain, no candidate strong enough to defeat Buhari will emerge......

I will keep saying it PDP made a mistake allowing decampees to contest.
It will appear as a slap to those who stayed and nutured the party.

This is a major hurdle that PDP have to find a way to cross/conquer and after that they should be made to sign a memorandum of understanding that whoever emerge the party flag bearer for 2019 presidential election the rest should totally and completely support him likewise their supporters.

The only way they can pose a serious fight against the opposition otherwise hmmmm.

God bless Nigeria.

That's d problem of big names nobody wants to submit the best will be to go for d primaries

Shame

Where was the fight?

those pdp delegates have already received thier own share of the national cake..

As long as they all claimed to have what it takes to lead nigeria.. Let the candidates test their popularity amongst the delegates.

I hope the best amongst them wins.

BMC are doing hardwork for 30k

Spreading fake news everywhere ,

Butterfly0 is there coordinator

How can this one's pilot the affairs of a country when they can't even cosset their political party

It's pathetic!

This is the best election so far in Nigeria.

We hope the outcome will give Nigeria new-hope.

This is a very big problem oooo.... Nothing to show...

Mourinho must go

Thank goodness for APC that they defected.
