A political group within South West Caucus of the opposition party, Patriots of Peoples Democratic Party, yesterday said integrity should be the first major quality anyone must posses before such an aspirant should be considered for the post of national chairman.
It subsequently declared its support for the candidature of Dr.Jimi Agbaje for the post of national chairman of the party.
The group, in a statement signed by Akinbola Babs, its convener copies of which were made available to newsmen in Osogbo, said if Buhari's supposedly 'integrity' could change APC's fortune, then a man of integrity as the chairman of PDP at this moment would bring about change of fortune for good for the party.
The statement reads: "PDP as a party must change its way of doing things and re create public perception by shunning people with corrupt tendencies or promoting those with corruption cases to leadership positions.
"Against this backdrop, PDP convention committee should put in place a well televised debate for all intending chairmanship aspirants where they will tell the whole world what and how they'll take PDP out of the wood.
"The two factions at the national level -Sheriff and Makarfi factions should come together, settle their differences and give us a credible National Convention.
"As a group, we have concluded to mobilise and take our campaign to all delegates to the national convention to vote for Dr. Jimi Agbaje, who after thorough consultations with stakeholders is seeing as untainted and capable to lead PDP."
It then appealed to others in the race in South West to step down for Agbaje and take up their role of mentoring him to successfully lead the party to victory in 2019 election
