Members and delegates of the leading opposition party – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – converged on Eagle Square, Abuja, Saturday to conduct their national convention and elect new officials.
The convention, which is scheduled for two days – Saturday and Sunday – is a crucial part of the party’s preparation for the 2023 general elections.
National party officials, governors, ex-governors, and other bigwigs of the party are at Eagle’s Square for the big event.
There are speculations that most of the positions might be filled by consensus.
However, three positions are still under contestation.

“We are expecting 3600 delegates tomorrow. Most of the positions, as of today, except for three will not be contested. We are still talking with those contesting,” Fintiri said on Friday.
