The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it will consult
widely and build a consensus before deciding on zoning the 2023 presidential
ticket.
The Bala Mohammed-led committee had recommended that the
party throw open the contest for its presidential ticket.
Commenting on the recommendation on Tuesday, Kola
Ologbondiyan, PDP national publicity secretary, said the party will run it
through its relevant organs, while putting the aspirations of Nigerians into
consideration.
“The PDP immensely appreciates the overwhelming interest by
majority of Nigerians in the PDP as their national rallying point to elect a
pan-Nigeria, unifying and people-oriented leadership that would rescue our
nation from misrule, come 2023,” the statement reads.
“Our party notes that such unprecedented public interest and
confidence in the PDP is responsible for the widespread discussions and
enquiries on the recommendations of the Committee on the Review of the 2019
Elections.
“The PDP notes that the recommendations will be subjected to
its democratic process by relevant organs of the party and consultation across
all national interests.
“While our party appreciates the enthusiasm by Nigerians on
our nomination processes, the PDP assures that its decision on zoning will be
the product of wide consultation, discussions and consensus building, taking
into consideration the aggregate aspiration and hope of the generality of the
Nigerian people.
“Our party has however noted the disposition and line of
discussion from various political interests across the six geo-political zones
of our country in this regard, and at the appropriate time, the collective
understanding of Nigerians will prevail.”
