“How PDP Zoning Favors Tinubu's 2027 Re-Election Bid”, Former Presidential Candidate Explains
Former presidential candidate Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has criticized the decision of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to zone the 2027 presidency to the south, suggesting that it favors President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's potential re-election bid. This move, which is unprecedented in PDP's history, has been seen as an endorsement of Tinubu by some.
Olawepo-Hashim argued that the zoning decision weakens PDP's chances of producing a viable presidential candidate. In response, Nigerians have expressed concerns that this decision could pave the way for Tinubu's return in 2027.
Meanwhile, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike has stated that he will support a candidate who will prioritize the growth and protection of the country's interests. The PDP has been criticized for its handling of the zoning decision, with some claiming that the ruling party lacks vision and mission for the 2027 election.
