The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Thursday released the list of its presidential campaign council ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The list which has the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal as the Director-General of the National Campaign Management Committee of the party has generated heat in the party.
While some party leaders expressed their support for the composition of the committee, some have condemned the party for choosing a northerner as the DG.
In the past few months, there had been division in the party due to Northerners taking charge of sensitive positions in the party.
The issue has seen the camp of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and former national vice chairman of the PDP (South West), Bode George call for the removal of the party’s national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.
They also requested that Ayu’s successor comes from the South to give the region a sense of belonging to the party.
