PDP Lawmakers Threaten Defection Over Woman Leader Nominee

More than 20 lawmakers from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) are considering defecting due to the nomination of a woman leader allegedly backed by the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah. The lawmakers accuse the PDP leadership of imposing candidates and vow to defect unless the nominee is disqualified.

They urge the party to ensure a fair contest for the position. The lawmakers are scheduled to screen the candidate on Tuesday, with concerns about internal processes and external influences.
