A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT), Ejiofor Onyia, has insisted that the party’s convention must proceed to elect new leaders and revive its past prestige. Onyia made this declaration on Wednesday during an interview on Arise Television’s program ‘Prime Time,’ as monitored by DAILY POST.
DAILY POST reports that the PDP has recently been troubled by internal political disputes, splitting into two factions: one loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and chaired by Abdulrahman Mohammed, and the second chaired by Umar Damagum.
Onyia affirmed, “The convention will hold.” He recalled past internal conflicts, stating, “Remember when we were having the issue of Secretaryship and there were court cases from all corners until the Supreme Court ruled that the courts were overstepping their bounds that they have no business in the internal affairs of the party.”
He emphasized that the party’s actions should be guided by the Supreme Court’s decision, confirming, “The convention holds this weekend. We are heading to the convention, which holds this weekend in Ibadan. We will elect the next set of executives who will take over leadership and restore the PDP to its former glory.”
