As against the general belief that all is settled within the PDP to have Governor Uduaghan's appointee, Dr Tony Chucks Obuh to succeed him in 2015 on the much talked about power shift agenda of the Delta North zone, reports reaching AV-News, Asaba has it that there is still a lot of tees and dots to cross by the party chieftains.
Reeling from the information from Abuja that President Jonathan has expressed confidence on the abilities of both Gov Uduaghan and Barr Nwaoboshi for PDP to retain the oil rich Delta state, our source informs that Barr Peter Nwaoboshi who is the state party chairman and also an interested candidate for the Senate is yet to agree with the Uduaghan 's proposition. The. reason being that he is yet convinced on how the party can make Senator Okowa to drop his ambition and also to forget about a return to the senate which might hinder his own ambition.
It was revealed that the party chieftains were locked in a closed door meeting till very late in the night of the 27th and the principal topic is the Nwaoboshi's interest..
Meanwhile, it is believed that the group has already received the blessings of the newly sworn in South South Chairman, Hon Cairo Ojougboh. There is also a reported cases of some political parties waiting to see what happens at the primaries of the PDP expected to take place between October and December this year before they can approach Senator Okowa to take their ticket, a situation an aide of Senator Okowa dismissed by insisting that Okowa is a true and loyal party man and can not leave the PDP for any other party.
