More Confusion in PDP Chairmanship Race as Nasarawa Stakeholders Demand for Position

Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Nasarawa have kick-started their advocacy for the national chairmanship position of the party to be moved to the state.

In a statement released by Mustapha Ibrahim Umaisha and shared with reporters on Tuesday, the stakeholders said Nasarawa’s representation at the national level is long overdue.

They highlighted the absence of the state’s leadership in the upper echelons of the PDP as untenable, saying it is time for Nasarawa to take a prominent role in the leadership of the PDP, in th einterest of inclusivity.

The group lamented the situation preceding the 2023 election when Nasarawa’s sole advisory position within the party, held by elder statesman Sen. Walid Jibrin as Board Of Trustees Chairman, was relinquished amidst internal discord.

They argued that Nasarawa’s selflessness in that instance deserves recognition from party members nationwide.

They also argued that Nasarawa presents highly qualified and distinguished individuals as potential candidates for the national chairmanship position, particularly Dr. David Emmanuel Ombugadu, the party’s last gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 governorship poll.
