Wike's Camp Backs Ortom for PDP Chairmanship Amid Party Tensions

The camp loyal to Governor Wike has shifted its support to former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom for the PDP national chairmanship seat. This move has sparked criticism from Wike during a media chat, warning of potential doom for the party.

Sources close to Wike's camp revealed that the group is pushing for a North Central candidate for the chairmanship position, with Ortom being the preferred choice. The camp argues for equity in allowing the North Central zone to retain the slot, drawing comparisons to the APC's recent leadership change in the North Central zone.

The former PDP chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, is also mentioned in the context of the chairmanship race.
