Hell however let lose when against the decisions of the PDP governors, Atiku chose the governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, as running mate against Wike, the governors’ candidate.

 

The two perceived wrongs of the PDP giving their presidential candidate to a Northerner against the popular demand for a Southern candidate, and Atiku’s decision to choose Okowa as against Wike, the governors’ choice, broke the camel’s back in the PDP.

 

Expressing his disappointment with the PDP National Working Committee, NWC, on Wednesday, Ayodele Fayose, former governor of Ekiti State remained resolute that he will only back a southern candidate come 2023 general election.

 

Fayose said the decision of the PDP NWC to go against the party’s constitution that recognized rotational presidency and gives a Northerner ticket was unwelcomed to him.

 

“The PDP Constitution provides for a rotational Presidency. Section 3(c) provides that the Party shall pursue its aims & objectives by “adhering to the policy of the rotation & zoning of Party & Public elective offices in pursuance of the principle of equity, justice and fairness.”

 

“The current President of Nigeria is a 2-term Northern Presidency, thus implying that it MUST be a Southern Presidency in 2023 or NOTHING. Awa ‘South’ lo kan’. Nigerians should await details soon,” Fayose said.

 

Reacting to the statement of Fayose on Thursday, Atiku Abubakar, stated, “The PDP will remain united. Focus on our actions. We are taking action to address the feelings of all party members. The unity in our community is my priority. Our resolve to unify Nigeria starts in our party and moves to the community, then on to society.”

 

He said, “Every Governor, Legislator, and other elected officials produced by our party, and party members and loyalists, are much loved and respected by me.

 

When they speak, I listen. I do not only listen. Appropriate actions have been taken, are being taken, and will continue to be advanced.”
