The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed insinuations that the South West region was sidelined in the last National Convention of the party, accusing the ruling All Progressives Party (APC) of orchestrating the rumours.
The PDP, in a statement signed by the National Deputy Publicity Secretary of the party, Prince Diran Odeyemi, declared that it is a national party with representatives from all regions in the National Working Committee with equal rights and privileges.
The statement said the party, being a truly national party, holds in high esteem the South West region and recognises its contributions in keeping alive its ideals.
It however blamed activities of some aspirants from the south-west zone for its inability to clinch the position of national chairman of the party, stressing that it will be a political lesson in the future for politicians from the region.
