Nyesom Wike, the FCT Minister, has encouraged Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders to insist on zoning the party’s presidential ticket to the country’s southern area for the 2027 election.
Wike remarked this while reading a statement issued following a meeting of the party’s important stakeholders organised by the “Concerned Stakeholders of the PDP.”
“In the spirit of fairness, inclusion, federal character principles, and respect for our party constitution, the Party must make an unequivocal pronouncement zoning its presidential candidate to the South in the 2027 elections after the unbroken years of Northern President under President Muhammadu Buhari,” the communiqué read.
“In line with the provisions of our party constitution, only the National Secretary, Senator Sam Anyanwu, can issue notices of meetings of the National Convention, National Executive Committee, National Caucus, and the National Working Committee, and to this end all notices not issued by him and actions founded on them, including correspondences to INEC are null and void and of no effect whatsoever.”
Wike also stated that the group recognises Sam Anyanwu as the party’s National Secretary.
It resolved that, “to finally arrest the inexorable drift towards extinction in our party, the party must, without further delay, respect the Supreme Court’s judgement.” We thus unambiguously confirm Senator Sam Anyanwu as the constitutionally elected and substantive National Secretary of our great party.”
