AKURE – ANOTHER crisis is brewing in the South-West geo-political zone of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, after its poor outing in the last elections as leaders of the party in the region plans to centralize the appointments due to it.

The party leaders reportedly held a meeting in Ota, weekend, where the decision was made that former President Olusegun Obasanjo should liaise with the President on who get what due to the region.

The meeting according to a reliable source was at the Obasanjo Farm in Ota, Ogun State and was attended by five persons from each of the states of the zone.

Confirming that the meeting actually took place, the State Chairman of the PDP in Ondo State, Dr Tayo Dairo said what were discussed “are secret of the party to reposition it in the South West”.

Dr Dairo declined further comments on the centralization of the appointment due to the region and the decision to make Obasanjo the link person with President Goodluck Jonathan.

It was attended by the Chairmen and Secretaries of the party in the six states of the zone and one person from each of the senatorial districts.

The meeting, it was gathered, decided to nominate two persons from each state to start early preparations for future elections.

But reports from those that attended the meeting said that of all the decision taken the decision to centralize the position generated controversy as they could not agree on the choice of Obasanjo.

The argument of those that attended the meeting was that Obasanjo may sideline those that are not in his good book across the states in the region and this would further widen the existing gap in the party.

Consequently, after the meeting another meeting was said to have been held at an undisclosed location where party leaders planned to frustrate the headship of Obasanjo in the sensitive position in the interest of the party in the zone.

Vanguard learnt that in the case of Ondo State it was argued by those not in the faction of the immediate past governor Olusegun Agagu that if Obasanjo was allowed he would nominate those in Agagu’s faction of the party to the detriment of other factions that worked for the success of President Goodluck Jonathan in the state. They argued that rather than unite the party, the choice of Obansanjo’s men would further polarize the party.

Hey, Yorubas should be the last to talk of federal appointments.All of hand out you got(use to get ). Too bad your politicians greed no let development see your Ile.

@ the bolded, About Economical Advancement-when white people even refer to your ethnic group as the Jews Of Africa,um. . .need I say more

As for Educational Advancement- C'mon son(Ed Lova voice), you know we got that on lock.Or would you like results from BBC, British intelligence?


Female literacy is seen as the key to raising living standards for the next generation. For example, a newborn child is far likelier to survive if its mother is well-educated. In Nigeria we see a stark contrast between the mainly Muslim north and the Christian and animist south. In some northern states less than 5% of women can read and write, whereas in some Igbo areas more than 90% are literate.

God bless you Chyz!

Thank God for Fayemi.

If he learns to earn the trust of Ekiti people, that state will be developed in no time. Too much successful Ekiti people in America with nothing to do with their money.

Regarding the female literacy rates averaged out over the zones, difference is 1%. 80% for SW, 81% for SE.

Difference may not be statistically significant

From all statistics, it clearly is good to be from the south east.

Minus HIV/AIDS rates, I suppose (https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-646183.160.html#msg8150219) 

But I guess aside from that, the zonal statistics look pretty decent.

What?!! It is the Ekiti state theme song. Very popular.
As an Ondo man, you should know the song.
Thanks tho

The HIV/AIDS statistics go with the amount of women going for postnatal care which is why Abuja and Lagos look high compared to their surrounding states.
