Seven members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are currently in a
fight over who emerges as deputy governorship candidate of the party’s
flagbearer, Mr Oseloka Obaze.
It was gathered that the jostling which is being done in various nocturnal meetings of the party has been on for sometime.
Reprots say that Senator Ugochukwu Uba, elder
brother of erstwhile political godfather of the state, Chief Chris Uba,
and a daughter of former vice president of Nigeria, Dr Alex Ekwueme are
among those being considered for the deputy governorship position of the
PDP.
Others who have also been considered for the position are: Hon Tim
Egboka; former member of the Anambra State house of assembly, Hon Chris
Azubogu; member representing Ekwusigo, Nnewi North and South federal
constituency at the national assembly, Prof Stella Okunna, former
commissioner under Mr Peter Obi.
Others are Ernest Nwoye, twin brother of Hon Tony Nwoye; the All
Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the election and
Hon Ndubuisi Nwobu; a major stakeholder in the Anambra PDP.
State caretaker chairman of the party, Prof ABC Nwosu who spoke to
DAILY POST, however, said that the party has not settled on who would be
the deputy governorship candidate of the party.
He assured that the party would not compromise, but will insist on
the very best for the job, having painstakingly elected Obaze who is
deemed the best as the candidate of the party.
