THE National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is yet to take any decision on zoning in the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Debo Ologunagba, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, March 7, regarding resolutions at the NWC meeting with critical stakeholders from Ondo State, said the NWC thoroughly considered submissions at the meeting and clarified that it had not zoned its ticket to any part or area of the state.
Ologunagba assured all governorship aspirants and PDP members in the state of a level playing ground in all nomination processes and activities leading to the election, saying everything would be in accordance with the party’s constitution (as amended in 2017), the Electoral Act, 2022 (as amended) and the PDP guideline for the election.
He also assured that the nomination process and activities leading to the election would be all-inclusive, free, fair and transparent in accordance with the provisions of Nigeria and PDP constitutions, noting that the NWC also approved the convening of a special meeting to further ensure reconciliation and unity among party stakeholders in the state.
The meeting, he stated, would comprise party leaders, including Governors Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Ademola Adeleke (Osun), top party leaders from Ondo State and the NWC.
Ologunagba said the NWC also emphasised the need for all stakeholders to be consistent in display of fidelity to PDP and work together in the greater interest of the party and the people of Ondo State, who are looking up to the PDP to rescue their state.
