The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has constituted a 13-man appeal panel to attend to aggrieved aspirants seeking redress ahead of the governorship poll in Ondo State.
The PDP screening panel, led by a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, on Friday, disqualified two of the nine aspirants seeking the party’s ticket for the October 10th guber election in the state.
