PDP Faces Crisis Over Micro-Zoning Dispute Ahead of Convention

The PDP faces disarray over micro-zoning ahead of its convention as stakeholders from Lagos and Osun States openly reject the party's proposed zoning arrangement. This rejection has heightened tensions within the party, leading to uncertainty among aspirants and intense lobbying across the country.

The lack of clarity in distributing top leadership positions among specific geopolitical zones has left many aspirants unsure of their chances. The party's Deputy National Youth Leader mentioned ongoing consultations to address the zoning issue before the 103rd National Executive Committee meeting on October 15.

The rejection of the proposed zoning arrangement has sparked fresh divisions within the party, with influential figures mobilizing support for their preferred candidates.
