The meeting of the Zoning Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for national offices, which held in Enugu has been adjourned to next week.
Chairman of the committee and Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi however said the meeting has been fruitful.
He said the committee has no mandate to zone presidential slot or any political offices to the North or South contrary to the general expectations that it has such powers.
“Our committee is strictly limited to the PDP National Executive Offices to be contested at the 2021 PDP National Convention scheduled for the end of October, 2021.
“We have no mandate to zone political offices such as President or Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he explained.
He said the PDP remained the most credible platform to deliver good and accountable governance to Nigeria.
He noted that the membership and leadership of this committee were carefully selected “as it is composed of very experienced, competent and eminent Nigerians who are desirous of repositioning the PDP to play its role not just as the main opposition political party in Nigeria but to build a party that offers alternative policy proposals and hope to Nigerians that there is still light at the end of the tunnel.”
