Major stakeholders in the race to producing the successor of Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman from the South-East geo-political appear set to change the goal post and game plan.
Unlike their earlier insistence that the office remains in the zone after Nwodo’s resignation on Tuesday, governors from the region reportedly developed cold feet towards the office.
And if they carry the day, the PDP’s balance of power at the national level may be altered as another office may be allotted to the zone.
But all this will wait till after the general elections and if President Goodluck Jonathan wins the presidential election, another zone outside the South-South and South-East will produce the new PDP chairman.
However, a leader of the PDP in Imo State, Oliver Enwerem alluded to this yesterday when he told The Guardian that the seven-man committee set up to screen candidates for the chairmanship post is no longer necessary as election is fast approaching.
