PDP committee zones national chairmanship slot to North

The next national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will emerge from the northern region of the country, the party’s National Zoning Committee has announced.

The Chairman of the Zoning Committee and Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, announced this on Thursday afternoon.

“The decision of the PDP Zoning Committee is in line with the Constitution of the party on zoning and rotation of party and national offices in the interest of justice, equity, and fairness,” he said.

Ugwuanyi said National Working Committee (NWC) positions currently being held would be swapped between the North and the South.

“Consequently, the current offices being held by officers in the southern zones of the country, namely South West, South East, and South-South zones, should swap places with the offices currently in the northern zones of Nigeria, namely North West, North East, and North Central zones.”

Sources revealed that the vote ended at a 9 – 3 count in favour of the North as Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, Seyi Makinde of Oyo state, Godwin Obaseki of Edo, Nyesom Wike of Rivers state and others voted in favour of the North.

Governors of Bauchi, Adamawa and Taraba however voted that the chairmanship should be zoned to the South.
