“Dr. Philips Salawu’s antecedents are above board. They are without fault or blemish. He is the exactly the type of leader the PDP will need at a time like this.
“Dr. Philips Salawu is from Kogi State, North Central Nigeria, the seat of the PDP national chairman needs to be currently occupied by someone from North Central till the next national convention of the party. It is a constitutional matter, in fact.
“We have looked thoroughly into the history of the various leaders we have in North Central PDP and we have decided to endorse nobody else but a former Deputy Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Dr. Philips Salawu, to take over the seat of the PDP national chairman with immediate effect as we expect the NEC of our great party to do consider as the seat of PDP national chairman rightly belongs to no other zone but North Central, at the moment,” the group said.
