Tensions Soar As PDP Southeast Sets Tough Conditions For Saraki’s Panel To Halt Mass Defections
The Southeast caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reportedly maintained a firm stance that Sunday Ude-Okoye must remain as the party’s National Secretary. This demand is said to be one of the key conditions presented to the Bukola Saraki-led reconciliation panel to prevent further defections by party leaders and members.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The condition was discussed during a closed-door meeting on Friday between Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, and Saraki’s team at the Enugu State Government House. The meeting was part of ongoing efforts to curb the wave of defections currently affecting the party, particularly in the South-South and Southeast regions.
It will be recalled that on May 14, Southeast PDP leaders issued a communique warning they might exit the party if Ude-Okoye was not retained in his position.
A source speaking to Punch revealed that the Southeast caucus believes the PDP risks losing its stronghold in the region if concerns raised by its stakeholders are not addressed. Governor Mbah, during the meeting, reportedly criticized the marginalization of the Southeast in party affairs and stressed that the zone had long been a backbone of the PDP.
The source said, “The governor emphasized that retaining Ude-Okoye as National Secretary is essential for maintaining the party’s influence in the Southeast. He expressed disappointment over the lack of adequate recognition given to the region and reminded the panel how the Southeast, under then Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, helped revive the PDP during its 2015 crisis. He insisted the region must be given a more significant role in the party’s structure.”
