PDP Chairmanship Must Be Zoned To The North-PDP Governors Insist

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday insisted that the national chairmanship of the party should go to the North.

This position held sway as the National Executive Committee of the PDP adopted the report of the Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi-led PDP zoning committee, at its 94th NEC meeting, in Abuja, on Thursday.

The Ugwanyi committee had recommended that all party positions hitherto held by southerners should be swapped with those currently being held by northerners.

The committee in its report recommended among others that:

“The current offices being held by officers in the southern zones of the country, namely, South-West, South-East and South-South zones, should swap places with the offices.”

“Currently in the northern zones of Nigeria, namely, North-West, North-East and North-Central zones.”
