Senior Special Assistant to JIgawa state Governor Umar Namadi on New Media, Garba Muhammad Al-Hadejawi, has described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stance to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South as another advantage for the ruling All Progressive Congress APC and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid.
He stated this on his official Facebook page while reacting on the recent PDP’s decision to zone it’s presidential ticket to Southern part of the state.
Al-Hadejawi explained that, the decision gives “another chance for Tinubu to go again come 2027,” adding that it also provides an opening for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
According to him “It is an opportunity for the mighty Wike… and a clear road for Tinubu to go again come 2027,” he wrote, ending the post with laughter.
His comments followed the resolution of the PDP’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja held on Monday, where the party adopted the recommendations of its Zoning Committee chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri.
It was reported that, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, announced that the party’s presidential ticket would be zoned to the South, while the existing National Working Committee zoning arrangement would be retained for the November elective convention.
Ologunagba further reassured Nigerians of the PDP’s “unwavering commitment to democracy, the defense of citizens’ interest and well-being, and the ongoing repositioning of the party to reclaim power in 2027.”
