\u201cTo tell the truth, it will not be fair for the president of Nigeria to be from the north, the chairman and the BoT chairman from the north\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n

Jibril confirmed that efforts were in motion to resolve the issue causing disaffection among stalwarts and members.<\/p>\n

The politician said the report would be ready soon, adding that the leading opposition will be frank about the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever we can do, we will do it in the interest of the party to make the party remain as PDP\u201d, the BoT chair added.<\/p>\n

Jubril, a former Senator, presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, and the national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu are from the North.<\/p>\n

Chieftains of the party, especially in the South, want this adjusted. Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike and other protagonists are demanding that a Southerner should replace Ayu.<\/p>\n
