Ahead
of the 2023 Presidential elections, some prominent leaders of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from South East geopolitical zone have
threatened to dump the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress,
APC, if the presidential ticket was not ceded to the zone.
The
PDP leaders also vowed not to take vice presidential position from the
party, saying that anyone from the zone that accepts vice presidential
ticket will be tagged as an enemy of the zone.
A former
governor from the zone who spoke to Vanguard on condition of anonymity
said that South East has been faithful to the PDP since 1998 despite
what happened to the late former Vice President, Dr. Alex Ekweme at the
convention in Jo’s.
According to him, “If the PDP refuses to
zone the 2023 Presidential ticket to the South East, we will be left
with no other option than to leave the party.
“We are solidly
behind the position of our brother and Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr.
David Umahi. We have supported the party (PDP) and it will be
unfortunate if the party decides to take our support for granted.
“We
have also vowed that we are not going to accept Vice Presidential
ticket from the party and any son or daughter from the zone that accepts
to be vice to anyone will be tagged as an enemy of the zone.
“I
can also assure you that if the PDP refuses to zone its Presidential
ticket to the South East and Governor Umahi leaves, other governors,
members of the National Assembly and key stakeholders of the party from
South East will also leave.
“You will be surprised with the kind
of tsunami that will hit the PDP if it does not handle the issue well.
There must be equity and fairness. We should learn how to reward our
loyal and dedicated members.
“From the signals we are getting,
the APC appears to be ready to zone its presidential ticket to South
East and we cannot leave such gesture and follow a party that doesn’t
appreciate your loyalty.
“You know that the APC had promised to
consider zoning its presidential candidate for 2023 to South East if
President Muhammadu Buhari was reelected in 2019. You also know that the
President is an upright man. We have the conviction that he will ensure
that the APC cedes the position to the zone.
“Some people are
already mobilizing for #EndVP protest in South East and we are going to
ensure that we make resources available to that effect. It’s going to be
a collective thing. And I am assuring you that the country will not
regret having a President of South East extraction come 2023.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/11/2023-presidency-mass-defection-looms-in-south-east-pdp/ 9 Likes 1 Share

Finally, the Phoenix is rising!!
When I created a thread about this about three months ago, they called me names. Now it is happening!!
It is only natural that the East be rewarded for their decades old loyalty. Pdp no try at all. 51 Likes 5 Shares |
