The immediate-past Governor of Ekiti State and 2023 Presidential Aspirant under the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has warned the party to avoid any future commotion and division in the party, ahead of the party’s primary elections, by zoning its 2023 Presidential ticket to the Southern part of the country, for fairness, equality, and justice, Page 36 learnt.
He gave the warning on Friday, after appearing before the former Senate President, David Mark-led Screening Committee of 2023 Presidential Aspirants of the party, in Abuja.
His exact words: “You can tar all the roads here, you can do every good work on infrastructure, but when the people are not happy, when people are not looked after, then you have done nothing.
“I am for zoning, and I believe the best thing this party can do for posterity, for tomorrow, so as not to cause confusion, is for this party to zone this Presidential ticket to the South.
“And we must be courageous enough to say this is going to South. If you want to contest, the Nigerian Constitution still gives you the leverage, the opportunity to do so. I support zoning PDP 2023 ticket to Southern Nigeria.”
