Board of Trustee Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Sen. Walid Jubrin on Tuesday maintained that the party has been unfair to the South as most of the leadership positions are occupied by Northerners.

Sen. Jubrin in a statement on Tuesday maintained that he has not changed his earlier position that the party cannot produce the Presidential Candidate, National Chairman and BoT Chairman, all from the North at the same time while the south that has supported it since 1999 is left with nothing.

He said, “Based on my earlier statement that PDP cannot produce in North president, National Chairman, BoT Chairman all from the North for 2023 presidential elections. I still maintain my stand on that statement. PDP is a democratic and national party that caters for all Nigerians, it’s not sectional but loved by all Nigerians.

“As a PDP BoT Chairman I must say the truth and nothing but the truth no matter anyone’s criticism. I don’t fear anyone but God and true agenda of our party.  I will add that I stand strongly on my toes”.

The BoT Chairman stressed that he has been faithful to the party and rose through the ranks. He said he has been the BoT chairman for four years and six months and will not do anything the compromise the unity or cohesion in the party.

“I am a true member of PDP since its inception in 1998. Today l am one of the truest member of the party who remained in the party since 1998 that never changed to any party but remained only in PDP passing all positions in PDP

“PDP unit leader. PDP ward leader. PDP state leader. PDP zonal leader. PDP National Ex Officio member. PDP National deputy financial secretary. PDP National financial secretary. PDP BoT member. PDP BoT acting secretary. PDP BoT confirmed secretary. PDP acting Chairman and today BoT Chairman. I saw yesterday in PDP and today, kicking very well in PDP. Adding to this, I am also today member of PDP National caucus member, NEC member, member of National convention.

“As chairman of BoT I have tenure of 5 years but already spent 4years six months having only six months left as per the constitution of our party PDP. Therefore, I will never accept any unholy criticism by any one. I will remain in PDP until my death”.

Sen. Walid said that his team is waiting for the report of the reconciliation committee that interfaced on the feud between Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to enable it take informed decision during its intervention.

“I still maintain that the BoT is eagerly waiting for the report of the Reconciliation committee headed by Governor of Adamawa state and proffessor Jerry Gana. Thereafter, the BoT will thoroughly discuss it and inform the public accordingly no more no less. The BoT will continue discussing with all other aggrieved members of the party including those in states, Zones and nationally”.

He advised members of the party to concentrate more on those things that will make the PDP win the 2023 general election.

2027: NDC fixes October 20 for Campaign Council inauguration, Presentation of Certificates of Return

By Myke Uzendu, Abuja  The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has fixed October 20, 2026, for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), presentation of Certificates of Return to its candidates for the 2027 general elections and a strategic dinner for candidates contesting various elective positions.  The party also disclosed that its presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, respectively, would participate in consultations to determine key appointments in the campaign council.  National Chairman of the NDC, Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe, announced this on Saturday at a press conference at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.  He said the campaign council’s organisational structure and timetable had been ready since the end of August, but its inauguration was being delayed to allow Obi and Kwankwaso to conclude consultations and recommend nominees for strategic positions.  According to him, the activities scheduled for October 20 would follow a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), where key decisions concerning preparations for the 2027 elections are expected to be considered and ratified.  Cleopas said the delay did not indicate inactivity or internal division, explaining that the party was committed to establishing a properly constituted campaign structure capable of coordinating its nationwide electoral activities.  He added that appointments would reflect national spread, competence, capacity and the ability of nominees to contribute meaningfully to the campaign.  The NDC chairman disclosed that Obi and Kwankwaso were expected to recommend nominees for several strategic positions in the Presidential Campaign Council, including Director-General, Deputy Director-General, campaign spokesperson, Director of Social Media and Financial Controller.  The candidates are also expected to nominate two additional officers who, alongside the party’s National Treasurer, will oversee the campaign council’s separate and dedicated bank account.  Cleopas said the arrangement was intended to ensure that the presidential and vice-presidential candidates were actively involved in decisions affecting the organisation, financing and direction of their campaign.  He maintained that the party leadership, the candidates and the National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, were united in their preparations for the 2027 elections.  The chairman said the campaign council would be formally announced after the national leadership received the candidates’ nominations and recommendations.  He argued that constituting the council without the active participation of the presidential candidate and his running mate would be inappropriate, given their central roles in the presidential contest. Cleopas also dismissed reports suggesting that the party was divided or struggling to organise itself ahead of the 2027 elections.  He said the press conference was partly convened to address concerns raised by party members, supporters and Nigerians over the apparent delay in establishing the presidential campaign structure.  The chairman maintained that the National Working Committee (NWC), NEC, National Leader and party structures at the state, local government and ward levels remained committed to the party’s candidates.  He equally rejected suggestions that Dickson was working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to undermine the NDC presidential ticket.  Questioning the basis of the allegation, Cleopas said it would have been easier for Dickson to join the APC than to undertake the more demanding process of establishing and registering a political party if his objective had been to work for the ruling party.  He urged journalists to exercise caution in reporting political allegations and speculation, warning that misinformation could create unnecessary distrust and mislead the electorate. ...
