By Ogundele Olanrewaju

Palpable tension has gripped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as members of its zoning committee converge in Enugu, the Enugu state capital today to take decision on zoning the party’s National Working Committee’s offices across the six geo-political zones.

Chaired by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state, the 44-member committee is expected to give direction to the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

National Daily news reports that party leaders and stakeholders have in the past three weeks been pushing various arguments in a bid to getting the nod of the committee to produce one leader or the other for the party in the new NWC.

Before the committee for deliberation are 18 NWC offices as party leaders made up of 13 governors, national caucus, National Executive Committee, NEC and Board of Trustees, BoT members have all decided to part way with the current leadership of the party at the October 30/31 national elective convention.
