We’re Yet To Decide On Zoning – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has come out to say that it is yet to decide on zoning for 2023 election.

The PDP National Chairman, Mr Uche Secondus recently revealed this in Abuja, while briefing newsmen on Thursday.

According to him, the decision would only be taken after reviewing its performance at the 2019 general elections.

He added that PDP has a methodology of doing things, and that would be followed in taking decision for the 2023 elections.

His words, “After the general election, we set up a panel to study and appraise our performance and make necessary recommendations.

“The Governor of Bauchi state, Alhaji Bala Mohammed is heading the committee and it is still working.

“We did the same thing when we lost election in 2015 when we set up Sen. Ike Ekweremadu committee to look into why we lost. It was from that report that the party took action towards 2019.

“The same way this time, we must study our last outing before looking ahead. We can’t be talking of zoning when we have not appraised how we faired in the last election.

“Moreover, the state of the nation today is such that politics or anything concerning 2023 of three years away should take back stage.”

“All over the country the PDP remains the bride. States under the party’s control rose from 11 to 16, while the party now makes use of internal mechanism to resolve its internal issues.

“At the risk of being seen as blowing our own trumpet, it’s necessary to note that this NWC is the first in transparency and accountability.

“It is the first to function effectively for three years without scandal or dent of corruption.

“The first, also to successfully render account of its monetary expenditures to both National Executive Council (NEC) and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as statutorily required.”
