A former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Ologbondiyan, has said the North Central region will produce the party’s next national chairman.
Ologbondiyan said no other region can produce the party’s national chairman according to the party’s constitution.
He stated this during the weekend while receiving PDP youths from the North Central in Abuja.
The PDP chieftain explained that section 47(6) of the party’s constitution was clear and no one could stop its implementation.
“It is common knowledge that party members and stakeholders across the six geo-political zones of the country particularly the States of the North East, that includes Taraba, Gombe, Bauchi, Yobe, Adamawa and Borno States are in support of naming a successor from the North Central to replace Sen. Ayu, and the zone is already fine-tuning its processes to achieve that purpose.
“Ignore the antics of certain members of the party who have turned themselves to the Party’s Constitution and are churning out rules at their whims and caprices.
“The grundnorm for the PDP is the PDP’s Constitution (2017 as Amended) and not the desires of any individual irrespective of the position occupied by such an individual,” Ologbondiyan said.
He added that any individual or group wishing to subvert the constitution of the party would be inviting chaos to the party.
“The North Central will produce a successor to Senator Ayu, not any other zone. Any individuals or groups wishing to stop the implementation of Section 47 (6) of the PDP Constitution (as amended) are not seeking the good of our party,” Leadership quoted him.
