Salihu Lukman, the immediate previous Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), has expressed concern over the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winning the presidential election in 2023.
Lukman said in a statement on Thursday that the PDP’s possibilities of presenting a Northern presidential candidate in 2023 pose a significant threat to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The APC leader noted that the problem of zoning will have an impact on the development of a quality leader in both the APC and the PDP, claiming that a new political organization will free up political space in both parties.

“The possibility that the PDP may produce a northern candidate poses a significant challenge to the APC, affecting the emergence of a ‘quality leader’ as the party’s presidential candidate,” he added.
“As a result, the new political value possibly provided by a group like the’association’ is the prospect of opening up political spaces in the nation, including inside the present two parties (APC and PDP), to produce higher-quality leaders than would have been the case in 2023,” he explained.
“It will need some superior organization to generate such a better quality intended alternative consequence, which is why such an endeavor will need the backing of all patriotic Nigerians.”
The issue of creating a level playing field for candidates from all sections of the country is another element.
