Less than 48 hours after the inaugural of the PDP Special Projects Committee, the process for the selection of a consensus appears to be rocked by crisis. There are complaints from different angles about the way the committee is handling its assignment.
The committee is being accused of choosing an unpopular candidate reportedly being imposed on them by a stakeholder and member of the committee from Ibi Local Government Area.
A coalition of candidates vying for the Ibi LGA Chairmanship has accused Amb. Idris Waziri of presenting his blood brother, Iliya Ajibu, as the candidate for the 18 November election.
Speaking to Taraba News, the coalition said Amb. Idris called the PDP Chairman of the Southern Zone, Hon. Jonathan Adasho, to inform him that Gov Kefas had given him an express slot to nominate the candidate for the Ibi LGA Chairmanship.
Members of the coalition also accused the Zonal Chairman of excluding major critical stakeholders of the LGA from a meeting he called.
They, therefore, called on Gov Kefas and the Special Projects Committee Chairman, Senator Haruna Manu, to urgently intervene in the matter, saying the way and manner some of the stakeholders were going about the process would jeopardize the good intention of the Governor.
All efforts to get the reaction of Amb. Waziri proved abortive as he did not reply to text messages sent to his phone. The Chairman of the committee also refused to speak to the press, saying he wanted to complete the assignment given to him by the governor before talking to the press.
