A Peoples Democratic Party pressure group, Restart PDP Project has opposed the Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose on the issue of party chairmanship and the geopolitical zone the chairman should emerge from.

The group said that the party would be setting a dangerous precedent if it did not elect a chairman from the North-East to replace the acting chairman, The Punch reports.

Fayose had said early this week that the next PDP chairman should come from the South-West, noting that installing a new chairman from the North-East for the party at the moment was a waste of time.

The leader of the pressure group, Emmanuel Nwosu said: “Our position is that the next party chairman must come from the North-East. There is nothing other than that because that is the position of our party constitution.

“If it doesn’t happen, then there is a big danger for the party because we are the party now in opposition and Nigerians are watching to see what kind of party we are.

“Remember that most of our party members have condemned the impunity that reigned supreme in the past. Many people are sad because of imposition of candidates and all that.”

Speaking further, the leader urged President Muhammadu Buhari to put in fairness in the current fight against corruption stressing that the situation where only members of the PDP in the last administration are targeted in the anti-graft war would not augur well for the country.

Nwosu said: “It is quite clear that we have not seen any sign that members of the governing party are interrogated. It looks like up to this moment, it is only the PDP members that are under the watch of the anti-graft agencies.

“We believe that for good governance, the current government should do the needful and make sure that it’s anti-corruption war is executed without fear or favour.”

Meanwhile, a mild drama had ensued on Tuesday, September 1 as the aspiration of some chieftains of the PDP to vie for the national chairmanship of the party suffered setback.
