Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the North Central yesterday met in Abuja and insisted on completing the tenure of the ouster national chairman of the party, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, who hailed from the zone.
Daily Trust reports that since Ayu’s removal, Amb. Umar Damagum, has been acting in that capacity. All efforts to call a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting expected to bring in a replacement has allegedly been thwarted by the National Working Committee (NWC).
But rising from a meeting in Abuja, the stakeholders from the North Central appealed to leaders of the party in other zones to support the region to serve out its tenure.
The meeting was attended by Plateau State governor, Caleb Muftwang, former Senate Presidents, David Mark and Bukola Saraki.

“That the stakeholders must strive to build consensus to get the buy-in to the position of North Central zone.”
They also reaffirmed that North Central is united and will strive to “preserve the PDP as a veritable platform for good governance in Nigeria.”
