  • Chief Bode George has advised the PDP to stick to zoning as a means to choose its presidential candidate ahead of 2023

  • The PDP chieftain noted that zoning will make for equity, justice, and fairness within the ranks of the party

In the view of Chief Bode George, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will be defeated decisively if it abandons zoning in choosing its presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 elections

Calling for equity, justice, and fairness, George noted that throwing the presidential ticket open will cause a lot of damage to "the majority of the people who are card-carrying members of the party," The Cable reports.

His words:

“If the party decides that, I can emphatically say we are looking for serious trouble and we will be roundly defeated. A warning shot and a good lesson for us to think about.
“Let’s think about how this country can grow. Turn by turn Nigeria limited, what’s wrong with doing that. As I said, it’s not a 100 meters dash race but a continuum. Let there be equity, justice, and fairness.
“Let’s not go through that route because we will be doing incalculable damage to the psychological minds of the majority of people who are not card-carrying members of the party.”
