Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday said the party would take a decision on the issue of zoning of the presidential election at the fullness of time.<\/p>\n

PDP\u2019s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan spoke while appearing on Arise Television.<\/p>\n

Ologbondiyan said the ongoing discussion on the zoning of the 2023 presidential ticket in the All Progressives Congress, APC, is an indication of President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s failure.<\/p>\n

He insisted that some APC chieftains who worked towards Buhari\u2019s emergence are afraid that the party\u2019s agreement won\u2019t be reached.<\/p>\n

According to Ologbondiyan: \u201cThere are conversations in the APC over where to choose their next candidate from, I am aware. But we must also not lose understanding of this conversation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is because those who worked to bring President Buhari to power and having seen the failures that are attached to the governance of President Muhammadu Buhari and all the failed promises that were made and cannot be actualised are already afraid that perhaps the same thing will happen to their agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us in the Peoples Democratic Party, we have our party organs that will take decisions based on the conversations that will arise within our own political party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the time comes, at the fullness of that time our party will take its zoning decision, but as we speak, allow the APC to be fighting in the market place over whether they had an agreement or not. The PDP will not allow itself to be dragged into their own infighting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
