Senate Cancus Screens PDP Chairmanship Asprants

The Senate caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has met in Abuja to screen aspirants for the party’s chairmanship position, barely six weeks to the national convention.
Senate’s Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, who led the caucus, said the effort was to ensure that the PDP gets the convention right and avoid a repeat of past mistakes.
The meeting, which was held behind closed doors, had key aspirants in attendance.
Some of the aspirants after the meeting told journalists that they considered the possibility of reducing the number of aspirants.
The PDP Senate caucus held a closed door meeting to screen aspirants for the party’s chairmanship position.
There are eight chairmanship aspirants but six attended the meeting,
A failed convention of the PDP last year in Port Harcourt plunged the party into a protracted legal battle.
However, political observers are hoping that the PDP would learn from that experience and get it right this time around.
