A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP chieftain, Earl Osaro Onaiwu, has stated that former Presidential aspirant, Senator Bukola Saraki, is not desirous to occupy the seat of the National Chairman of the party.
This is coming on the heels of the rumour that the former Senate President, may be drafted to take up the mantle of leadership of the PDP in what political analysts termed “these confusing times in the party.”
But in a statement on Wednesday morning, Onaiwu, a former Director General of the Saraki Campaign Organisation and former Director General of the Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, said Sen. Bukola Saraki was grateful for the love shown him by PDP faithful across the country who are clamoring that he should help return the party to its former leadership role in the country.
Part of the statement reads, “Dr. Saraki for now, is more interested in the stability and peace of the country. He is also busy attending to family matters with an aged mother to look after.”
Onaiwu stated that the “former Kwara State governor, has been playing in the background and has been holding the party together since after the general elections earlier in the year. There are other former presidential aspirants that can become chairman. I can tell you on good authority that the issue is not an option for Saraki.”
“Dr. Saraki is a utility player who has been holding the party together through several interventions. We believe he can still be playing deep in the party’s affairs without being the chairman,” Onaiwu said.

PDP Chieftain Calls for Removal of Dr. Emma Agbo as DG of PDP Governors’ Forum

Benue State, Nigeria – Mr. Sam Obeya, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Benue State, has called for the immediate removal of Dr. Emma Agbo as the Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum.
This call comes on the heels of the aborted Congress in Benue State, which was marred by litigation and controversy. Mr. Obeya alleges that Dr. Agbo played a significant role in the botched Congress and demands his removal to ensure the party’s unity and progress.
“The actions of Dr. Agbo have caused irreparable damage to our party in Benue State,” Mr. Obeya stated. “His removal is necessary to prevent further divisions and ensure that our party remains strong and united.”
Mr. Obeya expressed concern that Dr. Agbo may become a tool to serve the personal interests of Governor Bala Mohammed, just like his predecessor, Hon. Cid Madugbuna, who was seen as a stooge of former Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State.
“The PDP cannot afford to have a Director General who serves only the interests of one governor,” Obeya said. “We need leadership that prioritizes the unity and progress of the party above personal interests.”
Obeya called on party leaders to take action to ensure that the PDP Governors’ Forum remains independent and serves the interests of the party as a whole, rather than being used to promote personal agendas.
