And to show his dexterity and no nonsence approach to handling issues of national importance, the Agenegbode born High Chief with friends cut across all corners of the world has visited  not less than 27 States of the Federation to make his intention known. Prominent among his supporters is  Senator Victor Kassim Oyofo  who along with other power blocks are leaving no stone unturned to deliver on their mandate. Its is certain that baring any other circumstances, the venerable High Chief will be crowned as the new PDP Chairman. The position has been zoned to he south south to which the media mogul is eminently qualified to contest.
Meanwhile Chief Franklin Edede from the South East is contesting for the position of the National Youth Leadership of the PDP. Chief Edede's popularity has been receiving boost from far and wide in the country and judging from a recent Opinion Poll, that position is his for grabs! The peace loving candidate for that exalted office is a known and reputable achiever.
