Meanwhile, this multipurpose newspaper had earlier reported that the zoning committee of the PDP had resolved to make the party’s presidential ticket an open contest for all regions of the country.
The 37-member PDP zoning committee led by Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom was set up on 16 March and inaugurated on 24 March, 2022, to determine suitable zoning formula for the 2023 presidential election.
The committee which met on Tuesday at Abuja said its decision to throw the presidential ticket open to candidates from all regions in the country was based on the exigency of time, even as it maintained that zoning remains an acceptable practice as stipulated in the party’s constitution.
