PDP Coordinator Challenges Zoning for 2027 Presidency, Calls for Open Contest

Hon. Aminu Bala Wudilawa has rejected the zoning decision by the PDP NEC regarding the 2027 presidential ticket, advocating for an open contest.

He argues that the decision violates the constitution and electoral laws by imposing additional conditions on aspirants. Wudilawa emphasized the need for a fair competition, citing past instances where zoning did not prevent competitive primaries.

He believes that every qualified Nigerian should have the right to aspire to office without restrictions. This stance challenges the notion of zoning in the party and calls for a more inclusive and democratic selection process for the presidential candidate.
