The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Zoning Committee, on Tuesday in Abuja, released the zoning arrangements of the 21 available positions between the North and the South.
The report was presented by Gov. Dave Umahi, who headed the Zoning Committee, to the party National Caretaker Committee, led by Ahmed Makarfi.
The positions zoned to the North are: Deputy National Chairman 2, National Secretary, National Financial Secretary, National Publicity Secretary, National Auditor and National Woman Leader.
Others were: Deputy National Treasurer, Deputy National Organising Secretary, Deputy National Youth Leader, Deputy National Legal Adviser and Deputy National Secretary.
The South got the positions of National Chairman, Deputy National Chairman 1, National Treasurer, National Legal Adviser, National Youth Leader and National Organising Secretary.
Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Deputy National Woman Leader, Deputy National Auditor and Deputy National Financial Secretary, were also zoned to the South.
Mr. Umahi, while presenting his report, said: “After robust deliberations on proposals presented by members, the committee proposed that all positions should be keenly contested for among the major zones they are zoned to.
“This will open the space and allow for full participation of members.

“That the chairmanship of the party be zoned to the Southern zone bearing in mind that the presidential ticket of the party for 2019 was zoned to the Northern zone.
“This is as was approved by the National Convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers on Saturday, May 21, 2016.”
In his remarks, Secretary of the Caretaker Committee, Ben Obi, who received the report on behalf of the chairman, commended the committee for timely completion of their assignment.
He noted that even though the zoning committee was given seven days to submit its report, the report was submitted before the expiration of the one week given.
“This is the new spirit in PDP. When you want to re-brand, your action must speak louder than your voice.
“We assure that justice will be done to the submission, and at the end of the day, you will be happy that you’ve done for the party and for your country a good job.’’

Power to the people

muzmeel:
Power to the people

Sherrif should at least go and rest

Make I contest as the Youth leader

muzmeel:
Power to the people

Abeg stop deceiving yourself...it still more of the same thing the north get the presidential slot

Ok

Anyhow they do it is their business. I know one thing though, that the Same North many Haters insult front right and center here especially on Nairaland will maintain the Presidential ticket. That's like swiping the ass with a tissue and using it to slap the faces of all those that call the North names. Without the North, lemme see how PDP will make APC shake a bit come 2019. Respect North! They remain the most powerful region in Nigeria especially politics wise.

Somebody should tell sherriff to let go.

But Biafrans say they want to go. Leave them NO, Agree you can do without them NO Highest level of hypocrisy

Either way, It still favor our Northern Region. We literally own the Nigerian political arena. In 2019, both APC and PDP will present a Northerner as their Presidential Candidate. And no region can dare do this.
We are politically sophisticated,and nobody can alter this simple fact.
Northerners are the ones who destroyed PDP corrupt rule, with the help of respected allies in South West.
Sometimes, I honestly get confuse. You guys from the South always take Northerners for granted, you guys call us all sorts of names. But, we always find a way to rule your educated worthless piece of people.
Honestly, via the eyes of an average Northerners who see the Southerners as bunch of disorganized set of people. Who have no respect for constituted authority. Don't forget, we are politically alert on every moves in governance.
