He said George and other leaders had resolved to alert the PDP national leadership of the potential landmine that this could be if not properly and carefully handled. The PDP North-Central National Vice Chairman, Mr Theophilus Shan, stressed the need for PDP to make a decision it would not regret. “The South-South and the South-East zones have eight PDP governors, while there is only one PDP governor in the South-West. “PDP will be strengthened in the South-West if, in addition to its only governor, the national chairman comes from the zone.
