PDP convention: Uche Secondus and the last 3 men standing
As the Peoples Democratic Party commences voting on 21 elective positions in the ongoing 2017 elective convention of the party, NAIJ.com brings you the 4 last men contesting for the position of national chairman.
Nine people were initially cleared to run, but former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Bode George on Friday night, December 8, said he was withdrawing from the race on a matter of principle.
And after his withdrawal, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Senator Rasheed Ladoja, Mr Jimi Agbaje and Mr Aderemi Olusegun had joined him in walking away from the contest.

This also led to the adoption of Professor Adeniran as the consensus candidate of the southwest.
The development has left four candidates vying for the number one position in the party. The four are Professor Tunde Adeniran, Prof Tahoed Adedoja, Dr Raymond Dokpesi, and Prince Uche Secondus.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had earlier reported that former deputy national chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Olabode George said that the party appears now bent on self-destruction by allowing money moguls to dictate the choice of its leaders.
