The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate
Elijah Ayodele has warned the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, against zoning its
presidential ticket ahead of the 2023 elections.
Primate Ayodele warned that the PDP would not make any
impact during the 2023 Presidential election if they zone the ticket to any
region in the country.
The clergyman advised the PDP to pick the best candidate
without regard for zoning rather than opt for a rotational method which would
not help them.
In a statement by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, the
clergyman said: “For the People Democratic Party (PDP), Primate Ayodele
revealed that if the party wants to make an impact in the presidential
election, the plans for rotation or zoning should be dumped.
“Ahead of the 2023 Presidential election, PDP must not use a
rotational method to pick a candidate. The party needs the best candidate, and
the rotational method won’t help.
“If the party wants to make an impact in the election, they
must come as one house, go to the primary polls and let whoever will lose, lose
and whoever will win, win without regard to zoning.”
Although some PDP chieftains have called for the presidency
to be zoned to the North, the party is yet to make any official pronouncement
on the issue.
The Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed had insisted that
the North would retain power in 2023.
He had claimed that under the PDP, the North still has four
years to spend in power.
