PDP's move
Mohammed emphatically stated that since each of the political parties is trying to strategize, plan and organise, the PDP will not hesitate at throwing its presidential ticket to whichever zone that will give the party the opportunity to emerge victorious when the time comes.
He said:
“If they zone to the South, it is open to us to see how it is going to give us more electoral victory, or if we put it to the North it will give us more electoral victory.
"This is the kind of thing we are doing; the leg works, the permutations and so and so forth. So that, at least, whatever we are going to do, is to give us and provide for Nigerians to choose between the best alternatives.”
