Former Anambra State governor and PDP vice presidential candidate in the last general election, Peter Obi, is also eyeing the party’s presidential ticket.
The contenders are former national secretary of PDP, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, and former governorship aspirant in Ondo State, Eyitayo Jegede. The source, a former ranking federal lawmaker and top party chieftain, said, “The 44-member zoning committee led by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State begins sitting from Thursday and is faced with the difficult choice of whether chairman should come from North or South, a decision that will also have implications on where the next presidential candidate of the party for the 2023 election will come from.
“The South West PDP leaders noted that apart from Anambra where a gubernatorial election will hold in November, the zone has two governorship polls pending in Ekiti and Osun states before the 2023 general elections, and having the national chairmanship slot will help seal victory in the two states, thereby shoring up the chances of the party in the 2023 general elections.”
He said, “The zoning, from my discussions with party leaders, would keep the presidential ticket in the North and the chairmanship in the South West. This, according to party insiders, is in order to avoid any legal crisis that may arise since Secondus’ tenure is legitimately due to expire on December 9.
