The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has thrown their 2023 presidential ticket to all the geo-political zones of Nigeria.
The party claimed this move was due to the short time space before primaries, saying zoning arrangements take six months to complete.
The decision came after a meeting at the Benue State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja.
According to Punch, the committee threw open the ticket due to exigency of time saying “zoning, as in our party constitution, is affirmed.”
The document sighted by reporters read:
“Recommendations of PDP Zoning Committee
“1. Zoning, as in our party constitution, is affirmed.
“2. Inspite of (1) above, (the) Ticket is thrown Open, this time around due to exigency of time.
“3. Our Party is encouraged to always make the issue of zoning very clear at least 6 months before sales of forms.
“4. Our Party should commend the efforts of some our contestants on the issue of Consensus candidacy; the efforts should be seen to a peaceful and logical conclusion.”
