candidate from the North, to lead the People’s Democratic Party in the

a South West PDP group alongside a North West youth movement are beckoning on

leader and a very competent administrator, that can lead the Nation to
greater heights.

2019 Presidential elections, he is one of the potential politicians to watch
from the People’s Democratic Party.
