(AFRICAN EXAMINER) - Ahead of the 2023 general election in Nigeria, a pan Socio political organization, the Igbo Leadership Development Foundation (ILDF), has asked the opposition Peoples Democratic party PDP to zone it's presidential ticket to South East zone in the spirit of equity, justice, and fair play, or be ready to face the consequences.
The moves to getting President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor in 2023 have commenced as both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the leading opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have started shopping for presidential materials.
The PDP which has a strong zoning principle as provided in its constitution has resisted going into extinction despite all the odds stirring the nation’s political waters.
The opposition party is hit by a gale of defection of its key actors who determine where the pendulum swings. This is sequel to the APC’s resolve to whittle down its structures ahead of the 2023 polls.
But the PDP is still swimming in the nation’s murky waters with a view to zoning its offices and reclaiming power in the next general election.
