The Peoples Democratic Party in Cross River State is enmeshed in crisis following the recent appointment of caucus leaders in the 18 local government areas of the state by the chairman, Mr. John Okon.

The state PDP had on August 8, appointed new caucus leaders, but aggrieved members of the party are faulting the appointment, saying it fell short of the amended 2012 Constitution of the PDP.

A group known as the PDP Conscience, in a press briefing in Calabar said it might seek redress in the Federal High Court if the leadership of the party failed to withdraw its decision to use the ‘illegal’ caucus leaders to screen aspirants for 2015 elections.
