PDP Chieftain Criticizes Unconstitutional Zoning of 2027 Presidency, Calls for Fair Electoral Process

PDP chieftain Gbenga criticized the PDP's decision to zone the 2027 presidential ticket to the south, calling it unconstitutional and discriminatory. He argued that the Nigerian constitution does not permit zoning of elected offices based on regions.

Gbenga warned that enforcing zoning could create divisions and hinder competent individuals from contesting for the presidency. He referenced past elections where candidates from different regions competed, emphasizing the need for a fair and open electoral process to ensure competent leadership that can address economic and security challenges.
