PDP crisis: NWC positions should be rezoned after polls – Sen Yaroe

Senator Binos Dauda Yaroe (PDP, Adamawa) has said that his party should rezone some key National Working Committee (NWC) offices, especially those of the national chairman and secretary, in the event that its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, wins the 2023 poll.

He also urged aggrieved members of the party, especially the camp of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to sheathe their swords and embrace peace.  

Sen Yaroe spoke in Abuja at the weekend during an art exhibition titled: “Sketchism”, organised by Stephen Binos, his son.

The PDP has been enmeshed in a crisis as Gov Wike and his camp have insisted that the party’s National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, must resign.

Recall that Wike lost at the PDP presidential primary and was equally not considered for the vice presidential slot, hence the genesis of the crisis. 

But Sen Yaroe, who represents Adamawa South, Atiku’s senatorial district, said instead of calling for the removal of Ayu, which he noted was contrary to PDP’s constitution, an effort should be made for the party to emerge victorious at the polls.

He said, “Alhaji Atiku has done enough to resolve the crisis in the party. He has reached out to aggrieved members and he is still reaching out. But some people think that they can hold the party and the presidential candidate to ransom and blackmail him to do what is not right.

“In 2017, when the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua was the presidential candidate of PDP, Ahmadu Ali was the party’s chairman; both of them from the North. The need to move the chairmanship of the party from the North to the South did not arise until after the election and inauguration of Yar’Adua.”
