North-Central should choose Ayu’s successor – PDP group

He criticized the narrow focus on certain political figures from Benue, such as Senators David Mark and Gabriel Suswam, for the position of National Chairman.

Okai argued that this important role belongs to the entire North Central zone and that states like Kwara, Kogi, Niger, and Nasarawa should also be considered.

“There are competent and qualified leaders from other states in the North Central region who can lead the PDP to greater heights,” Okai said.

He highlighted notable figures like former Senate President Bukola Saraki from Kwara State, former Minister of Culture and Tourism Humphrey Abba, and former Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Philip Salawu, as potential candidates.

Okai also mentioned Abdullahi Maibasira from Niger State and David Ombugadu from Nasarawa State as capable individuals who deserve consideration.
