Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP’s National Chairman, declared in Abuja on Thursday that the party will not renounce its history of zoning political posts in the 2023 elections.
According to Ayu, whomever does not win the presidency this time should wait till the next President’s term ends.
The Chairman made the remarks while inaugurating the party’s 37-member zoning committee at the national secretariat in Abuja.

The PDP formed a zoning committee after its 95th National Executive Council meeting on March 16 to offer suggestions for the zoning of various elective offices before the elections.
On March 30, the committee, which was given two weeks to prepare the sacred list, is due to present its final zoning list.
Addressing delegates on Thursday, the chairman said, “PDP has a history of rotating our offices. Anybody who doesn’t get it this time should wait after the tenure of whoever will be our next president.
“We believe PDP is going to produce the next President once we start this journey. This time, we will ensure it goes round. And it will go round with justice, fairness and the interests of Nigeria.”
He urged the committee members to remain open to dialogue and endeavour to resolve differences amicably, noting that the same attitude led to its successful NEC meeting last week.

According to Ayu, “You will recall that in the NEC meeting discussions, we had no rancour whatsoever. I implore all of you to continue in the same spirit. PDP has a reputation for discussing whatever issues that we have. We talk, we don’t fight, we resolve issues.
“There is no issue that is too difficult or too important for the PDP to resolve. That is the spirit of the party. Therefore I urge all of you to discuss this matter with the same spirit that you discussed at NEC. Let us not have any rancour whatsoever and at the end of the day, remain focused on the main goal.”
While noting that the party’s main goal is to win power come 2023, Ayu affirmed that the PDP would present a presidential candidate Nigerians are proud of by the end of May 2022.
“I believe that by the time we have the big prize in our hands, we will share it, we will rotate it the way we want,” he said.
