The paramount ruler of the Kwararafa kingdom, His Majesty the Aku Uka, Mallam Shekarau Masa Ibi, may have resolved a logjam in the ruling PDP, a source told KWARARAFA REPORTERS at the weekend.

The royal father, said the source, prevailed on aide to Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, Isaac Rafinkada,  to step down his governorship ambition.

A source close to Isaac, who recently caused a stir with his surprise declaration to run for governor, confirmed to KR that the former council boss may soon announce his decision to drop from the governorship race.

The source noted that the monarch asked Mr. Isaac not to cause disaffection between the sourthern zone and the incumbent governor, Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku.

At the meeting, Isaac reportedly told the monarch he was running because the governor asked his commisoner of finance, Dr. Jesse, to run for Bwacha's office.

The source said, "Isaac reasoned that if the governor would send his commisioner of finance to contend against his own boss, he too would seek the office the governor as an aide to Bwacha."

But the Aku is said to have asked Mr. Isaac to shelve his ambition. At a meeting in the palace in Wukari, the Aku was said to have told Isaac pointblank that the sourthern zone is still in support of the candidacy of Gov Darius.
