Former Senate President and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Ayim Pius Ayim; former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi and other presidential aspirants on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the South-East, have promised to ensure that the party’s ticket goes to the zone.
This is part of the resolution at the end of their meeting in Abuja.
The four aspirants who attended the meeting according to a report by the PUNCH, include Ayim, Obi, Sam Ohuabunwa and Dr Nwachukwu Anakwenze.
Speaking on behalf of other aspirants, Ayim said, “We have agreed to work together as a team and that we will work together to ensure that a South Easterner emerges as PDP flag bearer.
“We intend to consult with other zones on this issue and it is based on fairness and equity.
“In doing so, it is important to note that we have always supported other zones and we now expect them to reciprocate.”
“It is to our knowledge that more aspirants may have obtained forms under PDP and we hope they will join us later.”
