Former Governor Kwankwaso reveals why PDP cannot zone presidency to south
Meanwhile, Kwankwaso says it would not be right for the PDP to zone its presidential ticket to the south.
Speaking on Sunday, January 9, Kwankwaso raised a number of political concerns over the much expected 2023 general election.
Kwankwaso said the insistence that the presidential ticket for the PDP must come from the southern region is condemnable.
The former governor said the party leadership should rather insist on having the best candidate for the presidential election rather than zoning. He urged Nigerians to focus on candidates capability rather than religion, ethnicity or sentiments while making these decisions.
