PDP GIVES PRESIDENT TO THE NORTH, VICE TO THE SOUTH

The People's Democratic Party, P.D.P., who recently recovered from a protracted political cancer, occasioned by the leadership quagmire that practically crippled the party's political calisthenics, has announced its 2019 timetable.

Rising from its stakeholders meeting in Minna,  the Niger state capital, where the party discussed the aftermath of the Supreme Court verdict on the party's leadership tussle, the Niger state chairman of the party, Alhaji Tanko Beji reveals that the party's National Convention will take place in October.

The Niger state kingpin of the party opines that, sequel to the announcement, it is therefore incumbent on the various state chapters of the party to forward names of 30 members that would  serve on the convention committee.

He nevertheless confirmed that the party's leadership have taken a decision on the zoning of the presidency of the country in 2019. He maintained that the North will produce the president while the vice goes to the South. He advised those seeking any political office, to first seek the mandate of the people, as the era of "no vacancy" and "godfatherism" is long gone, and imposition of candidates, anathema.
