The Peoples Democratic Party may zone its national chairmanship position to the South-West, The PUNCH has learnt.

The recommendation to zone the position to the South-West was contained in a leaked working document prepared by the party’s 44-member National Convention Committee on Zoning.

The committee recommended the position of secretary for the North in the document was sighted by our correspondent on Wednesday.

The committee chaired by the Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, will meet on Thursday (today).

According to the document, the main consideration is that the zone has not produced the party’s national chairman since inception.

In zeroing in on the South-West, considered the past distribution pattern of the geopolitical zones that produced chairmen and came to the conclusion that the South-West deserved to get the slot.

Apart from the past distribution pattern, were said to have noted that before the emergence of Uche Secondus as the national chairman, no fewer than 12 from the South-West aspired to lead the party before it was taken to the South-South.

The distribution pattern as considered by the party is that the North-Central has produced five past chairmen in persons of Chief Solomon Lar, Barnabas Gemade, Audu Ogbeh, Ahmadu Ali and Kawu Baraje; while the North-East has produced three chairmen in persons of Dr Bamanga Tukur, Dr Adamu Muazu and Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.

The North-West produced two – Dr Haliru Bello and Senator Ahmed Makarfi; the South East produced two – Vincent Ogbulafor and Okwesilieze Nwodo; while the South-South produced Secondus both as acting and as substantive chairman.

“It is now clearly seen that the national chairmanship position has stayed long in the North, and particularly dominant in the North-Central. The South-West had never been given the opportunity.

“In actual fact, it is was an issue generally acknowledged that the national chairmanship was aspired by no fewer than 12 aspirants from South-West before the twist that took it to the South-South,” the document read.

Mtttchew. How will this change price of garri in the market

Interesting

Nonsense and Buhari

Hmmm!

If that goes to SW where will the president be zoned?

Atikulated people this is good news for you o!

Let's wait and see

As expected

Olusengu Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan enjoyed and benefited when PDP zone it to the south.it is time it is zone to the north.

Those that will not like this information are the yorubas who are glamouring for power to shift to the south but must be them that will get it.

How the yoruba went for VP over Southern president is the problem everyone is enjoying now.

Since they already claimed they helped the current president get to power by voting failure PRO MAX back to back and as such should be rewarded with the presidency come 2023 .
There is smart sense in that. The APC will surely give them the ticket as expected.
However that is if this new PDP northern candidate joker of 2023 don't scare APC Northern Cabal.

Now how a kano , kaduna,Bornu,sokoto and etc of Northern state will vote a yoruba over and hausa/fulani man in 2023 will be very interesting and not to mention that the South south and south east may not vote a yoruba either.

The yorubas will be quick to mention MKO and Tofa election yet MKO never become president neither will they recalled that that annulled victory was the common determination of all Nigerians north and south to kick out military rule that was enjoyed by northern then.

As a political follower of Nigerian politics
The southern components of Nigeria must agree on something otherwise the north will continue to rule.
They have the numbers,tricks and united.
While the south are divided.

I m from Delta state in south south.

So the real slaves are struggling for A MERE COMMISSIONER post Oshinbajo occupied?

We have to shame this shameless People.


The definition of modern slavery is to a party with everything u have for over two decades and still not found Worthy of flagging the party's presidential ticket.

They'll remain third class citizen forever because of their hate anger perdition and sorrow for people of different ethnic and Faith

This is most likely the PDP will zone it Presidential ticket to the North.

You all can see that the Southern Governors are only grandstanding and playing to the gallery.
Gov.Umahi said this on channels TV that some of them are not in agreement with the group position as it did not favours their permutation. It is just the voice of Jacob in Esau's robe.

Its clear and glaring that, its going to the North

Who cares

Seyi makinde is best

So North gets the President
Atiku is coming

As usual, the best slot for pdp is Northern candidate, every political party in the world has only one mission, "to win the election and be in power". The best slot for apc us SW candidate, there no 2 ways about that. Apc political party is major between North and SW.
