Only two out of 13 governors of the party were present at the inauguration of the PDP campaign council for the upcoming governorship election in Osun State yesterday.
The crisis over the emergence of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) continues to fester as things appear to be falling apart for the opposition party.
Earlier in June, the Presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar picked Okowa as his running mate against the recommendation of the committee set up to recommend a Vice Presidential candidate for him.
The committee according to multiple reports recommended Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State as Atiku’s running mate but the former Vice President decided to go for Okowa.
The development thereafter generated acrimony and disagreement among party leaders as some of them called for the removal of the national chairman of the party, Dr Iyorchia Ayu.
On Wednesday, June 29, 2022, there were speculations that Ayu has been removed and that Deputy National Chairman (North), Amb. Umar Damagum, has been appointed as acting national chairman of the party.
