Indeed, the faces of those, who will run the affairs of the party are also becoming clearer as former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola was also endorsed as consensus secretaryship candidate; Dr Sam Jaja, deputy national secretaryship candidate; Mr Olisa Metu,publicity secretary; Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha, organising secretary and Dr Kema Chikwe, women leader.
This is coming as North-East governors over ruled the outcome of Tuesday’s zonal congress of the party that side-stepped Tukur and elected Dr. Musa Babayo as zonal national chairmanship candidate. Tukur polled two votes at the contest while Babayo had 14 votes.
The North-East governors teamed up with their colleagues from the other zones, who, according to sources, met with the President for several hours last night. Vanguard learnt that the meeting was still on as of press time.
With these endorsements, other aspirants are expected to drop their ambitions to make way for a roller-coaster convention tomorrow.
This is just as eleven candidates in the race for the national chairmanship of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP were last night engaged in different schemes to outwit one another as battle lines changed among them as new alliances were formed among the candidates for the top party job.
