“The report in some sections of the media, which purported a disagreement in the Southeast Caucus, was characteristic of such a high-level meeting to peacefully adopt its candidates by consensus rather than an open contest at the National Convention of the PDP scheduled to take place in Abuja on the 30th day of October 2021 ”.
