Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele
Fayose, has dared aspirants from the North who are interested in running for
presidency in 2019, to come forward.
Fayose himself has already
declared interest in replacing President Muhammadu Buhari in the next general
elections.
The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), has zoned its chairmanship slot to the South and the presidential ticket
reserved for aspirants from the North.
However, there is no aspirant
from the region that has publicly made his intentions known.
Fayose wrote on his Twitter page:
“As per issue of zoning in the PDP vis my declaration for President, those who
want to be President in the North should be bold to come out.”
Two weeks ago, caretaker chairman
Ahmed Makarfi, restated the commitment of the party to respect the various
zoning arrangements.
“The Port Harcourt convention
decisions remain valid and one of the decisions taken at that convention was
zoning. But microzoning does not have a binding effect.
“If a position is zoned to the
North and you are from the North and you come to buy form, we will sell for
you. Don’t forget that people will not get tired of taking the PDP to court,”
Makarfi said.
