Legit.ng earlier reported that karma is set to hunt the PDP and key stakeholders over their failure to honour the call for southern presidency come 2023.

The largest opposition, which is supposed to have built on the weakness of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration on security and inflation, decided to present a northern candidate against the nationalistic view.

The party had claimed that the south enjoyed more power than the north in its 16 years of rule, but nationalistically, many southerners believed power should not stay in the north after 8 years of Buhari.
