A coalition of Northern youths within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday accused the national chairman of the party Uche Secondus of plotting to impose his preferred presidential candidate on them.

The youths also accused the leadership of the party of conniving with the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, to rig the presidential primaries of the party slated to hold on October 5th and 6th by moving the convention to Port Harcourt.

The group, while advocating relocation of the party’s primary election to Abuja, warned against one-man dictatorship in the party, saying it poses a great threat on the unity and survival of the party before and during the coming elections.
