Ahead 2023: PDP North East Challenged to Resist Zoning Scheme
The 2023 general elections preparation is in top gear.
And the Nigerian public in the northeast has been challenged to resist any scheme that will force a candidate on them using zoning tactics, stressing that the region must be given the opportunity to produce the next president come 2023.
This is coming from the Members technical committee for Atiku Abubakar headed by High Chief Raymond Dokepesi who were at the Government House Yola Adamawa state.
The technical committee for Atiku Abubakar headed by high chief Raymond Dokepesi is on a nationwide consultative tour to seek advice from stakeholders of the PDP for the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar come 2023.
The chairman of the delegation who accused the All Progressives Congress of rigging the 2019 general elections, called on Nigerians to join hands and resist any form of electoral malpractice come 2023.
The event which was held at the Government House Yola was attended by the state deputy governor Crowther Seth, Senator representing Adamawa South, Binos Dauda Yaroe, Speaker State house of Assembly, state legislators, government officials and state party leaders.
You will recall that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State called on its member to respect party supremacy and go about their aspirations with decorum and refrain from unnecessarily heating up the polity.
Chairman of the party, Venatius Ikem gave the advice to all aspirants who visited the Secretariat in Càlabar to make their intentions known.
Addressing them, the Chairman said equity, justice, and fair play will be considered above other agitations in line with the party’s constitution.
Some of the aspirants who are advocates of zoning insisted that the fairness the party Chairman talked about can only be achieved if the “gentleman agreement” reached by party caucus leaders in the state in 2015 is honoured.
Currently, five aspirants from the PDP have made their intentions known to be Governor of Cross River State under the Peoples Democratic Party, including a lone female, Ambassador Nkoyo Toyo.
