The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has urged stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to zone the party’s presidential ticket to the southern region of the country in the 2027 election.
Wike said this late Monday while reading a communiqué after a meeting of critical stakeholders of the party under the aegis of the “Concerned Stakeholders of the PDP.”
“In the spirit of fairness, inclusion, federal character principles and respect for our party constitution, the Party must make an unequivocal pronouncement zoning its presidential candidate to the South in the 2027 elections after the unbroken years of Northern President under President Muhammadu Buhari,” the communiqué read.
“In line with the provisions of our party constitution only the National Secretary, Senator Sam Anyanwu, can issue notices of meeting of the National Convention, National Executive Committee, National Caucus and the National Working Committee and to this end all notices not issued by him and actions founded on them, including correspondences to INEC are null and void and of no effect whatsoever.”
Wike also said the group recognises Sam Anyanwu as the party’s National Secretary.
It resolved that, “to finally arrest the inexorable drift towards extinction in our party, the party must, without further delay, respect the judgment of the Supreme Court. We, therefore, unequivocally reaffirm Senator Sam Anyanwu as the duly elected and substantive National Secretary of our great party”.
