The crisis in the leading opposition party, the Peoples Demcoratic Party, PDP, is apparently not over as a faction of it, Fresh Peoples Democratic Party is waxing stronger.
It has constituted its interim National Working Committee, NWC.
The committee, it said, would run the affairs of the party pending when it would hold its elective convention and come up with new leaders.
About two weeks ago, the death of the Fresh PDP was announced, but in a swift reaction, the Chief Obi-Nwosu Emmanuel led group of the party debunked the allegation.
It said the said collapse of the Fresh PDP was the handiwork of some individuals who were particular about pecuniary gains.
Announcing the NWC in a statement on Friday, Obi-Nwosu Emmanuel said Fresh PDP was the needed platform to return PDP to power in 2019.
According to him, the party was particular about promoting ideologies that would move the nation forward.

He said the was sincerely convinced that with “our determination to annihilate impunity and imposition from our great party” the resolve to ensure level playing ground for all potential aspirants on the platform of the party would be achieved.
He added: “Impunity and imposition will never do our party any good, they both represent the proverbial ill wind that blows no one any good and we will not allow opportunities to destroy what other noble men like late Dr Alex Ekwueme laboured hard to build.
“PDP belongs to all financially up to date members and everyone must have the constitutional liberty to use the platform for the advancement of his or her political aspiration without let or hindrance.
“Today, our faction of the People’s Democratic Party has come out with a clear blueprint on how to quickly restore the lost confidence of our party members in the party and win back the support of Nigerians.”
He said members of the NWC included Mr Osukuade Sowemimo, Deputy National Chairman, South; Alhaji Abubakar Muslim, Deputy National Chairman, North; Alhaji Gamawa Ibrahim, National Secretary and Mr Rodney Odili-Obi, National Organising Secretary among others.
