Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are to reach a consensus Tuesday, on who replaces Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, as the party’s national chairman.
Sources said the meeting will hold in Gombe, where the new chairman will emerge.

Mu’azu, a former governor of Bauchi State resigned as PDP national chairman on May 20, 2015, after the party lost the presidential elections.
His deputy, Prince Uche Secondus took over in acting capacity pending a replacement from the North-East.
Misunderstanding in the party reached a record high last week, following the emergence of three national chairmen, as an aftermath of a legal tussle. They included Secondus; the party’s national secretary, Prof. Adewale Oladipo, who was directed by the PDP Governors Forum to take over and Barr Ahmed Gulak, a one-time special adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
However, leaders of the PDP from the North-East have resolved to hold a meeting tomorrow, where a trusted and credible party stalwart would be accepted and sent to the national leadership of the party for approval.
Daily Trust gathered that various organs of the PDP, including the National Executive Committee (NEC), Board of Trustees (BoT) and the National Caucus ‎are also warming up to meet this week in order to look into the issue of the party’s chairmanship, and possibly approve the appointment of whoever emerges from the North-East.
PDP deputy national publicity secretary, ‎Abdullahi Jalo, told our correspondent yesterday in a telephone interview that the zone is to choose from the contenders, including himself.
He said others are the former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Bala Mohammed; Senator Paul Wampana; two former political advisers to former President Goodluck Jonathan, ‎Barr Ahmed Gulak and Rufai Alkali, and Ambassador Wilberforce B. Juta.
He therefore stressed the need for the North-East leadership in conjunction with the national leadership to be fair and provide a level playing field for all the aspirants.
‎However, a source in the region said it would be difficult to arrive at only one person, adding that in case the meeting is characterised by chaos, two names would be forwarded to the party’s national secretariat for the leaders to pick one, based on integrity, contributions to the party among others.
Daily Trust learnt yesterday that the Secondus-led NWC are allegedly working hard ‎to ensure that only someone who could do their bidding emerges.
It was not clear who Secondus is settling for, but informed sources say he is highly against the emergence of Barrister Gulak as chairman.
Secondus is to return to his former position of deputy national chairman when the replacement is made from the North-East.
