*As Eagles Square Agog For Convention

THE 2017 Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) becomes more dramatically interesting, Bode George, Jimi Agbaje, Gbenga Daniel and Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja have withdrawn from the party chairmanship race.

This massive withdrawal of contestants from the South-West gives a brighter chances for the geo-political zone to produce the next national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

George, who announced his withdrawal decision moments after the convention screening committee had cleared him for the exercise, insisted that he did not step down for another candidate and also raised concerns about the fallout of the convention.

He said, he withdrew because the South West was already cheated with the entrants of aspirants from the South-South.

Early hour of today (Saturday), another key contestant and PDP flagbearer in the 2015 Gubernatorial election in Lagos, Dr. jimi Agbaje, reportedly withdrew from the race.
