KWANKWASO: There seems to be unease in the camp of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential candidates going by the new turn of events.
It was initially agreed that all the candidates will support whoever wins the primary election in Port-Harcourt which Atiku Abubakar eventually won.

After Atiku’s victory, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso was named to coordinate Northwest being the most populous region with the largest voters. With Kwankwaso in the area where he has his largest followers, President Muhammadu Buhari would be given a tough contest.
But in a twist of events, the governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal was named to replace Kwankwaso.
In his official Twitter Page, PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbodiyan wrote;
* Senate President Bukola Saraki will be the Director-General of Atiku Campaign Council.
* Governor Aminu Tambuwal, Zonal Coordinator – Northwest
* Governor Dankwambo, Zonal Coordinator, Northeast
* Governor Samuel Ortom, Zonal Coordinator, North-Central.
Going by the above, Kwankwaso who was said to have delivered the highest votes to President Buhari in 2015 with two million votes was not reckoned with in the new PDP arrangement.

SOJWORLD.COM could not immediately get to the root of the underground crisis brewing in the top hierarchy of the party; but the new twist might not be unconnected with the factional crisis in Kano where there are two contending forces over the State’s Excos. Just last week Kwankwaso thretened to dump the opposition party.
