The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Peoples Democratic (PDP), has been urged to consider reverting the National chairman seat of the party to the north central.

National Coordinator National Youth Amendment Movement (NYAM),

Commander Muhammad Sadiq Almusanah, stated this in a signed statement on Monday in Jos.

The group said the planned NEC meeting of the party had given them hope and expectations that the meeting would discuss issues of great concerns towards advancing the real ideals and principles of the party.

The statement further noted, “In this direction, it is our resolve bourne out of the firm conviction that the NEC will consider reverting back the national chairmanship of the PDP to its rightful place of North Central, whose former chairman Ayochia Ayu’s tenure has not ended.

“We are, particularly, confident that the NEC should not only consider reverting the seat to North Central but also see reasons to support if not anointing former Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Simon Mwadkwom, to serve as the National Chairman.

“We are again of the firm view that Senator Mwadkwom, having been a loyal and dedicated party stalwart, is from Plateau state, from where the founding father and maiden chairman of the party, held and since its formation, the PDP has remained strong in the state,” the group said.

 They said the victory of the party winning almost all national and the state assembly seats with a seating governor in Plateau state, having regained their position from then seating government of the APC, with the good efforts put in place by Senator Simon Mwadkwom, it will be a good decision to have him, emerge as the National Chairman of the PDP.

“His antecedents as a grassroots politician, rising from Executive Chairman of Riyom Local Government Council, with good track records of achievement, to his twice vibrant representations of Barkin Ladi/Riyom federal constituency, and later elected as Senator that represented the Plateau North senatorial district, where the PDP and other opposition parties deemed it wise for Senator Mwadkwom to be the minority leader, and with this synopsis, we are of the view that better times await the PDP with him as substantive chairman,” the group said.
