Seven members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are currently in a fight over who emerges as deputy governorship candidate of the party’s flagbearer, Mr Oseloka Obaze.
DAILYPOST gathered that the jostling which is being done in various nocturnal meetings of the party has been on for sometime.

A source told our correspondent that Senator Ugochukwu Uba, elder brother of erstwhile political godfather of the state, Chief Chris Uba, and a daughter of former vice president of Nigeria, Dr Alex Ekwueme are among those being considered for the deputy governorship position of the PDP.

Others who have also been considered for the position are: Hon Tim Egboka; former member of the Anambra State house of assembly, Hon Chris Azubogu; member representing Ekwusigo, Nnewi North and South federal constituency at the national assembly, Prof Stella Okunna, former commissioner under Mr Peter Obi.

Others are Ernest Nwoye, twin brother of Hon Tony Nwoye; the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the election and Hon Ndubuisi Nwobu; a major stakeholder in the Anambra PDP.

State caretaker chairman of the party, Prof ABC Nwosu who spoke to DAILY POST, however, said that the party has not settled on who would be the deputy governorship candidate of the party.

He assured that the party would not compromise, but will insist on the very best for the job, having painstakingly elected Obaze who is deemed the best as the candidate of the party.
