Former PDP National Chairman backs Gbenga Daniel
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairmanship aspirant Gbenga Daniel received full support from former National Chairman of the party, Vincent Ogbulafor.
Mr. Ogbulafor made this declaration at his country home, Olokoro in Umuahia, Abia State Wednesday, when the former governor of Ogun State paid him a courtesy call.
So far, eight candidates have shown interest to run for the office of national chairman.
Six of the eight contestants are from the South-west while two are from the South-south geopolitical zone.
Those from the South-West are Bode George, Jimi Agbaje, Gbenga Daniel, Tunde Adeniran, Taoheed Adedoja and Rashidi Ladoja while the other two from the South-south are Raymond Dokpesi and Uche Secondus.
According to Mr. Ogbulafor, a South-east politician, “Gbenga Daniel is the right person for the position (National Chairman) if PDP is to take over power. I was the National Chairman of the party for three years and I know the demands.
“Daniel, you are a real party man, please keep the flag flying. You know where the mistake of PDP is and you can provide solution.
“I support you on this quest and I am sure you will get it. You have my vote, you have my vote. I will give you my vote”, he said.
Meanwhile, the Chairman, South-east Council of Traditional Rulers, Cletus Ilomuanya, the Obi of Obinugwu, who also received the candidate described him as a portrait of humility and the most competent individual to lead the party.
The Obi made this remark while praying for Mr. Daniel to succeed in his quest to become the national chairman of the PDP.

Ogbulafor said this in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Umuahia.
He said there was no truth in a media report that he was holding talks with chieftains of APC in Abia on how to defect to the party.
Ogbulafor, however, recalled that when APC won the presidential election in 2015, he visited the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun, to congratulate him.
He said the gesture should not be misconstrued, adding that he had no intention of joining APC.
The former national chairman said, “I am still in PDP and I have not discussed with any other person on plans to defect to APC.’’
