A former Minister of Aviation,
Femi Fani-Kayode will be contesting the position of the national chairman of
the Peoples Democratic Party.
Fani-Kayode’s Media Adviser, Jude
Ndukwe said should the position be zoned to the South-West, his principal would
be among those to contest.
He also said Fani-Kayode was
under pressure to run for the position.
It means the former Minister will
be competing with a former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Bode George;
the governorship candidate of the party in Lagos in 2015, Jimi Agbaje; and a
former Minister of Education, Prof. Tunde Adeniran.
Ndukwe told Punch that
consultations were still ongoing but did not rule out the possibility of the
former minister running for the position.
He said, “It is far too early to make this decision but I can tell you that there is a lot of pressure on him from various quarters to run for a key position on the National Working Committee of the party.
“We are still waiting for the zoning formula and the date of the convention . It is after all that has been agreed on that we will decide whether he will run for the national chairmanship or anything else or not.
“One thing is clear though and that is that our party needs strong leadership to take on the APC Federal Government. He has that strength and passion and he has worked very hard for the party.
“He has also been defending democratic values for the last two years. Meetings and consultations are still going on so let us wait and see how it all goes.”
