They have plans to shut out Presidential aspirants who defected from other parties in the hopes of having their ambitions realised with the PDP and may have also zoned the vice presidency to the South East. According to a report on the Nation, the South East caucus has opted to forego any aspiration for key positions in the National Working Committee( NWC). The only position the South East is seeking in the NWC is the National Organizing Secretary.
The idea for the PDP is to reintegrate all parts of the country so that every zone feels adequately represented. This is according to a source who spoke to the Nation who added that PDP leaders “have been engaging in horse-trading in the past few weeks ahead of our next elective National Convention.
According to the source; “These leaders have built some consensus on power sharing, including the shutting of our doors against defectors from other parties who are only interested in our presidential ticket.
“As an integrated party, we welcome defectors, but we may not concede an automatic presidential ticket to any of them. We want all those joining our party to learn the ropes and queue for a while. “We believe in party discipline and supremacy; members must have faith in the party they are joining. No chance for gold diggers again.”
