A DIVIDED HOUSE: Emergence of Two Governorship Candidates in Anambra State Unsettles PDP


lPDP Chairman, Bamanga Tukur
The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party is unsettled over the emergence of two candidates for the governorship election coming up in Anambra on November 16, 2013. Specifically, the leadership of the party fears that the development is likely to affect its fortunes in the election.
Saturday PUNCH gathered that the party’s national leaders were battling to resolve the crisis that was caused by parallel governorship primaries in the state.
A member of the National Executive Committee, who confided in our correspondent, lamented that the emergence of two governorship candidates from the two parallel congresses in the party had been a sore point in the party’s preparation for the governorship election.
He referred to the emergence of two governorship candidates of the PDP for the same election in the state, Senator Andy Uba and Mr. Tony Nwoye, as a worrisome development.
