The crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), may be heading to another twist as the Forum of PDP candidates and aspirants passes a vote of no confidence on the national chairman, Sen Iyorchia Ayu; national secretary, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, and deputy national chairman (North), Umar Damagum.
They petitioned the National Executive Committee (NEC) yesterday and are unanimously demanding the resignation or removal of Ayu, Anyanwu, and Damagum within 48 hours or face legal action that would forcefully push them out of office.
The desission was made when the candidates met in Abuja.
They alleged that the leadership of the party extorted several aspirants during the congresses, primaries, and national convention, adding that even after primaries, they swapped the names of candidates with the names of persons who did not win.
According to them, these underhand actions of the leadership of the party are largely responsible for the nullification by the courts of the governorship primaries in Zamfara State and all primaries held in Ogun State, while noting that many more are still pending in court.
After the meeting, Mr. Chris Ogbu, read the communiqué to journalists.
Ayu has been accursed of sharing money paid as nomination fees instead of utilising it for the prosecution of the 2023 election.
