A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Daboikiabo Warmate, has reiterated that the party will not endorse the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Naija News reports that Warmate, during an interview on Trust TV, said the decision to support Tinubu is a personal position of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Warmate insisted that the PDP would field its own presidential candidate, having zoned the presidency to the South.
He said, “That position to support President Tinubu is just a personal position of the FCT Minister. It’s not the position of the party.
“The PDP position is that we will produce a presidential candidate from the top. So we are not considering the presidential candidate or endorsing the sitting president in the APC.
“As a party, we will produce our candidate. Wike has the position that states that it’s Wike’s personal position and his entitled to his opinion and his position.
“But what PDP stands for is for us to produce a credible candidate from the south, having zoned the presidency to the south and putting into consideration what led to this crisis.”
Meanwhile, an emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee of the PDP, led by the Tanimu Turaki National Working Committee and the Board of Trustees, chaired by Adolphus Wabara, is currently taking place at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.
The meeting, which is the third such gathering this week, is focused on resolving internal disputes within the party, particularly issues surrounding the planned national convention proposed by the Abdulrahman Mohamed-led caretaker committee.
Party leaders said reconciliation efforts between the rival factions of the PDP have been at the centre of deliberations.
At a similar meeting held on Wednesday, Turaki disclosed that the faction under his leadership remained open to reconciliation and noted that discussions aimed at resolving the crisis were showing encouraging progress.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
