Members opposed to the unity list have threatened to leave the PDP to pursue their political aspirations elsewhere. Some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have rejected the ‘unity list’ proposed by the party hierarchy.Stakeholders who spoke on the condition of anonymity expressed concerns that the convention may leave the PDP factionalized again.A source disclosed that most members of the PDP were uncomfortable with the offensive unity list been proposed by the party.The source noted that the idea of having a ‘unity list’ was an indication that the PDP was still promoting impunity, lack of internal democracy and had not learnt from its past mistakes. The source said: “We expect that the convention will be keenly contested and its outcome not per-determined. It is better for all the contestants to face the delegates and let the delegates choose their leaders in a free, fair and transparent convention.
