If feelers from the Wadata plaza,
headquarters of Nigeria’ ruling party in Abuja ,the PDP is anything to go by, a
dark horse or political underdog among the litany of political heavyweights
vying the PDP Imo Guber ticket may get the nod to fly the party’s governorship flag in Imo State.
This blog was told that while the
party is bent on holding free, fair and credible primaries in Imo State, the
party’s national leadership might be disposed to field a candidate with less
political baggage.
A source in the PDP said “While we
are committed to free, fair primaries as espoused by the Adamu Muazu leadership
in Imo State and other state chapter, the party is interested in a candidate
with less political baggage. We will give everyone a level playing ground but
there are strong considerations that the
party is interested in a sellable and winnable candidate not just in Imo State but across the country”
The PDP in Imo resurrected after President
Goodluck Jonathan visited the State last month where decampees from the All
Progressive Congress, APC re joined the party.
At the moment, the party has over 20 governorship aspirants, a situation
that makes the party a formidable force as the 2015 polls draws near.
Since then, the party leadership has strived to heal cracks in the party through steady consultations with the aspirants.
