PDP Releases List Of Zoning Committee Members

 

 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has unveiled the list of its zoning Committee members across the 36 states and the Federal capital territory, Abuja reports Prime Business Africa.

The party had in September 2021 appointed a 128-member National Convention Organising Committee to plan its convention.

Same time the former ruling party also appointed 44-member Zoning Committee to work out a zoning formula for its positions.

Of the 37 committee members in total are some serving state governors as well as other eminent Nigerians who have served the country meritoriously in previous governments.

Meanwhile The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has reiterated that the Igbo and the entire South would jettison the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if it fails to zone its presidential slot to the South.

Its spokesman, Alex Ogbonnia, opines that the party would lose the South’s support if it presents another Northern candidate after eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari’s stay in power.

“The fact is that we have already sent the message out, not just the Ohanaeze but Southern and Middle Belt Forum, that any party that does not zone its presidential ticket to the South should forget about our support and prepare for its nunc dimittis,” Ogbonnia stated.

“As far as we know, all the Southerners are on one page. The southerners themselves are making an effort to make the Yoruba people see reason in accommodating their Southeast brothers.

“It is deliberate for any party that refuses to give their presidential slot to the South. And we will be deliberate too in jettisoning such party.”

Political scientist, Prof. Obasi Igwe, believes that the PDP was on the verge of making a mistake.

“I assure you that their refusal to implement their policy on zoning is going to break the PDP and allow our APC to have a hold on power.

“There can never be a Fulani to Fulani transition of power which is what the likes of the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are seeking.

“Therefore, Atiku should give way to a southerner, preferably, an Igbo man. There is no equivocation on this,” said Igwe.

Igwe went further to speak on the need to ensure that religious is not used a tool to cause further crisis in the country.

“We want to build a modern democratic secular state in which religion will be a private affair as in civilised societies. This will help stop the ethnoreligious conflicts in Nigeria.

“We should move along in common citizenship governed by a single law without any religious doctrines intervening.

“Atiku coming in between is simply annoying because he has been given that opportunity last time around. He was also part of the PDP that decided on zoning.”
