New PDP faction emerges, berates election of secondus

A new faction has emerged from Nigeria's main opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP), with threats to set up a parallel executive by January and open a new secretariat in Abuja.
The new faction is led by a group of five men, include Prince Obi Nwosu, Alhaji Hassan Adamu, Chief Olusola Akindele, Chief Godwin Duru and Franklyne Edede.
Already, the faction has open a new office located at Asokoro District of Abuja.
The Independent National Electoral Commission-recognized national headquarters of the party is located in Wuse, Zone 5, Abuja.
Only two flags of the party are taped to the building to indicate that it is a party office.
Nwosu, who is the leader of the five-man faction, said that members of the National Working Committee of his group would be announced in January next year.
The new PDP group said it is emerging due to the imposition of a unity list on members on December 9.

The group described the recently conducted elective convention of the party as a charade and condemned the imposition of candidates at the convention by some vested interest.
