Crisis Hits PDP As Southern Leaders Disown Lagos Zoning Summit

A crisis has erupted within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Southern leaders disowned a zoning summit scheduled in Lagos. The group, which includes State Chairmen, former governors, and senior party officials, accused the summit convener of operating in secrecy for personal gain.

The meeting, titled PDP Southern Zoning Consultative Summit, was intended to discuss the sensitive issue of zoning positions within the party. Prominent leaders denounced the summit as illegitimate and divisive, highlighting the exclusion of key party members.

They criticized the lack of transparency and called for inclusivity, equity, and collective responsibility within the party. The leaders warned that any decisions made in the absence of key stakeholders would be considered illegal and divisive, urging adherence to the party's constitution.

They emphasized the importance of unity, fairness, and justice in maintaining the party's credibility and relevance.
