PDP dares South-West Chieftains, zones chairmanship position to North-East

This is coming days after PDP Chieftains from the South-West threatened mass defection if the position is not zoned to their region.

 

The position was assigned on Thursday, April 28, at the party's 70th National Executive Council meeting held at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja.
