The Peoples Democratic Party has thrown its presidential ticket open for the 2023 election open.The decision, SaharaReporters reliably gathered, was reached during a meeting on Tuesday of the 37-man committee set up by the party to decide the zone to get its presidential ticket for next year’s election.The committee headed by the governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, was set up on March 17 to find an amicable solution to the issue of zoning.
The situation was further aggravated by the announcement made by the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, on February 22, 2022, that it had ceded its presidential ticket to the South.This caused further divisions among PDP stakeholders, some of who believed that anything short of zoning the ticket to the South would be an injustice.
When contacted by SaharaReporters over the issue, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, disclosed that it was quite premature to know the decision of the committee as he was not a member. He went on to say that the decision of the committee will first be ratified by the party’s National Working Committee before a National Executive Committee will sanction it.According to him, it was after all those processes had been fulfilled that the party would make a formal announcement of its decision as regards zoning of its presidential ticket.“There is a lot of process that must be fulfilled before any decision can be made public,” he said.
Yes because Atiku thinks he has anough money to throw around and feel the party candidate is made for only him alone.
If you love Nigeria If you love Nigeria, listen, circulate this video and support Mr. Peter Obi to become the President of Nigeria.
It may turn out to be a costly mistake.
If I see Atiku and any southerner in the polling unit that day I will vote the Southerner even if it Orji Uzo kalu
It's because southerners doesn't have one word everybody want to be president 2019 it was all northerners
Apc had been patiently waiting for PDP's move. Apc too would throw it open
The best convenient transport
The committee has denied this claim
The more this party is trying to get it right the more it get dirtier na waoooo all I know is that if PDP try to get a northern candidate they I'll lose the election oooo come 2023 but if they get a southern candidate and if they get a wrong one too they I'll still lose
And we in the south west will have nothing left than to support Tinubu. its gonna be old man and old man.
PDP is gone
They may likely benefit from the internal tussle threatening to tear APC apart..
PDP is making a biggest mistake that will work against then in 2023 election.
The south must get brain by fire by force. Dokpesi and his edo group who have sold the south to Atiku should know that history would acknowledge the role they played in ensuring the south lost power to the north. Willing tools in the hands of the north
PDP's spoke person refuted this position of throwing the presidential ticket open...
This marks the beginning of their failure
This is unfair, unjust and deliberate attempt to deny the South the tick. Without anybody or prophet telling us, South suppose to produce the next candidate. In 2007, North was given the chance and in 2019,same North was given.
Those who made their to throw the contest open were or was wrong in doing so,cos zoning has come to stay in our party and national politics and must be respected by all and sundry, desperation by some politicians to perpetually cling to power to the detriment of other zone
Not yet
They just defeated themselves.
They are already defeated.
For them that is the only option cos I'd they zone it then expect disgruntled members to defect to another party ! Very clever decision 👏👏🍺
Pawer is not given freely let them fight for it, if I may ask has apc zone theirs to south, cz apc always copy pdp..
Support Referendum now all this Southeast Efulefu politicians, OHANEZENDIIGBO Can't you understand the hand writing on the wall. freeMNK. fix a date for Biafran exit

I’m not surprise, Ndi Igbo should use their tongue to count their Teeth. Freedom is Certain
I knew this will happen, I said it, but many said I was speaking nonsense.
If PDP refused to zone presidential ticket to south East, you will remain in opposition for another 8years 🤷♀️
For those who wish to share money will do so before they vote who they won't.
Idiots!
The plot is to give power to the North! We await them 💯
Confused people.
The North has come with their trick to stay in power. PDP is DEAD. Their aim is to massively vote a northerner. Watch out for mass exodus of northerners from APC to PDP
Lol
Am decamping
It's best opportunities to split Nigeria into many different nations so that Biafran can go home
No favor to presidency beggars -- south east.
As much as I like Atiku, he is so desperate. He fights & closes the entrance door & if he loses, there would not be an exit door. Why scatter what was once respected as a gentleman's agreement? What if d APCs southern candidate wins him in general election. His thinks one way.
PDP is de worst political party on earth nd has nothing to offer gullible Nigerians, more especially de Igbos. PDP abandoned zoning becos of another Fulan! man. Political party without principle. De only party dat hs hatred for Igbos.
Atiku is in PDP to hijack the effort of the southerners, he is working closely with Buhari to frustrate the idea of a Southeast President.
With this PDP is really working for APC to remain in power.
It's Peter Obi or they will fail again.
Wise decision and excellent political calculation.
I sense a Peter obi VP. He didn't show any commitment for the number one seat. I think he is more comfortable with a VP. Very painful though
They are broke so they need Atiku's money 😂 useless people.
Great News for all Igbo Politicians. SERVE THE FULANI AND END IN SHAME. No 2023 election in Biafra Land. FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow
What's the difference are they not the same people, jumping from one party to another when it doesn't favor them and staying- put when it favors them. They are all financial vampires sucking the country to death.
U guys tlk as if the primary is meant for only atiku ,if ur candidate can't contest the party primaries ,how was he going to win the general election
Fuck pdp
Ohaneze and all Igbo efulefu una don see how this Fulani dey use una. Wake up and support MNK for referendum.
My vote goes to(south) no doubt inshaallah,is not good for PDP to make it open, zoning is important.
North 1-0 South. The north will keep outsmarting the South. PDP May likely win 2023 election because the north will vote for their own. After 8years, APC will repeat PDP trick to grab power. Game on! There’s 1 North but there’s SW, SE, SS.
The situation Nigeria is in now Zoning the presidency ticket will set us back more... it requires credible candidate its a right move in d right direction... I only hope they do this to move Nigeria from this present dark situation we are in...
The Dubai based every 4 years OfficialPDPNig candidate has already bought the party's decision on zoning... Now its time for him to the votes 🤣
They have lost the election this should the ticket return to the North. Mark my words.
Pdp just extended APC stay in office
That's interesting All Brocked party delegate will have opportunity to once again to filled up their pockets. Last 7yrs no easy.
After deceiving Igbo politicians to wait for a Fulani herdsman to go one more tenure. It's now time and they want to play chess. Better support referendum now. No one will ever give you power if you are hoping
Someone is going to buy them all
PETER OBI IS THE ANSWER DONT MIND ATIKU'S MONEY
Very big mistake l tell you
PDP has handed the presidency to Tinubu.
War is coming, this country is finish completely all the whole tribe are tired of this country yet the same people are flighting to take over again without no meaningful act of stewardship
They are trying to bend the rules for some people..they don't care about the citizens but only their pocket.Nigerians should be wiser this time to vote for someone who has a good track record and integrity, someone who can bring in innovations that turns our economy around.
This one won't save the neck of the carcass party, PDP. The die is cast. 2023 is the funeral and burial rite year.
Because of one man...
Thesame people who asked Jonathan to leave office are still thesame people who wants to hold the power after their brothers might have spent 8 years. Same people
The game as just begun , the man with the most money wins .
The first mistake at the start
wallahi, it's a goal for Atiku.
Such stupidly is unimaginable. Atiku is certainly not an option. No wonder Amechi is bragging. Amina of NPA and Intel. Atiku and business. Amechi in Transportation. Atiku at Yusuf Buhari's wedding. High drama/conspiracy indeed. They don't own Nigeria.
They thought what happen to GEJ re-election will repeat; with the beneficiaries in power now. That is being delusional.
Igbo efulefus how market? you couldn’t get restructure and the long awaited Igbo president is on the go. You lgbo misleaders who enjoy killing us in the name of one Nigeria and Igbo president what next? Efulefus be-assured if you don’t bring us president you must go to the north
PDP is fulanized. Will fail many times.
I think this a right step in the right direction. Lets see how it will end
The highest bidder😃😃😃 shagiyar uwa
But even Devil Mohammed Umahi that is not considered as a brilliant politician said this all along. So it's no brainer everyone knows the agenda! KeepItOn
PDP&APC are the same, Peter Obi's gullible supporters think their opinions matter where power players decide the game. As for me, Omoyele Sowore is my candidate. WeCantContinueLikeThis soworeforpresident
The north and the northerners wanting presidency on the platform of PDP are the same people who demanded GEJ quit the stage for a northerner & promised to make the country ungovernable for him & a violent boko haram was born. After 8 years of Buhari, how can another northerner
When it’s the time for South the open it up. I hope southerners are learning oh. These Northerners do respect you at all stop being their useful and obedient idiots.
APC is smiling right now, the moment they give Atiku the ticket and APC give it to any credible Southerner, then bye bye to PDP because we in the SE and Niger Delta will pay them in there own coin.
PDP will irreversibly throw away its opportunity of returning to Aso Rock Villa in 2023 when a Northern Muslim is given its Presidential ticket. No Southern Christian Presidential candidate, no Aso Rock Villa for PDP period. Take it or leave it abeg.
Zoo
Abandonment to impose Northern aspirant. While APC fields Northern candidate or southern stooge 'yes man' baboon. Northern game. Well, it's a waste of time. It's not gonna hold.
Ok
Peter Obi vuvuzela's good morning o.
Just as I expected
They're confused 👌🏾
They are starting with failure.
PDP is doomed! The money bag from the North will buy them out to fulfill his long term ambition. PDP why😭😭😭
Nice decision but my question is if it was the time for the north to rule, would this still the party decisions? vanguardnews
Make I laff 😁😁😁😁
BREAKING: Nigeria’s Opposition Party, PDP Abandons Zoning, Throws Presidential Ticket Open | Sahara Reporters
I will apply let me try my luck.
They will eventually loose
Na like this them wan rule us?
For AA ryt?
Fear of Atiku
Stage is finally set for Atiku. It's going to be a stroll in the park for him
That is the beginning of the end of PDP. They are doing this to satisfy a man who wants to be president just to fulfill a long time ambition like Buhari. The same man has been clamoring for zoning until now.
They've betrayed the SE people
Confused bunch.
In other words highest bidder got the ticket.
They will loose if they don’t make the right decision
ADCNig is the way.
They will lose to APC
