Ahead of the October 30 national convention the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) on Thursday approved the zoning of its next national chairman to the Northern part of the country.
The NEC considered and adopted Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi-led Zoning Committee’s report.
The committee had recommended that the current elective National Working Committee (NWC) positions in the party should be swapped between the North and the South.
At present, the South produces the National Chairman while the North produces the National Secretary. Both the North and the South have Deputy National Chairmen.
The party, however, clarified that what was approved has nothing to do with the executive and legislative positions in the 2023 general election, but the elective NWC positions for the forthcoming convention.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, while addressing newsmen on the outcome of the NEC held in Abuja, said what was adopted was the recommendation of zoning between the North and the South.
He said the regions are expected to go and micro-zone the positions to the geopolitical zones, after which aspirants can start obtaining forms.
