Crisis in PDP as two factions hold party convention in Abuja & PH

The leadership crisis in PDP took a different turn today as two factions of the party held party congresses in both Rivers state and Abuja. The Alimodu Sheriff faction which is backed by the 12 PDP governors in the country, is presently holding its convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers state while the Professor Jerry Gana led Concerned Stakeholders group in the party is holding its own in Abuja.

Both congresses are to produce important officials of the party.

INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, on Thursday May 19th, said the party only identified the congress holding in Port Harcourt.
