Expect changes ahead of 2023 presidential election — PDP tell Nigerians

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has asked Nigerians to disregard reports making the rounds claiming the party will stick to its Presidential election paring similar to that of the recently concluded 2019 presidential election. The PDP, has in the last election, zoned its presidential ticket to the North East, with the vice president coming from the South East.



The party said it was yet to reach a decision on the 2023 presidential zoning, adding that those behind the speculation were political terrorists whose aim was to mislead the public and cause disaffection within the ranks of the party.

Addressing a press conference yesterday in Abuja, PDP National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan also dismissed the claims that governors elected on the platform of the PDP were divided over 2023.


“For the avoidance of doubt, our party is yet to discuss the 2023 presidential election, overtly or covertly, at any time whatsoever.




"If anything, the PDP is currently working with Nigerians on how to win the elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states and will not be distracted by individuals who found themselves operating in the highest offices of the land but failing in governance.


“Moreover, it is also imperative to counsel, without any equivocation, that enemies of our party, who feel threatened by the rising profile of Governor Nyesom Wike, should have a rethink on their incessant attacks on the governor.

“PDP appreciates the contribution of Governor Wike, as well as all our governors, to the growth of our party and urges all members and supporters to ignore those seeking to cause disaffection in our ranks,” the party said."
