Northern Youths Reject PDP’s Zoning Of 2027 Ticket To South

Northern youths have rejected the People's Democratic Party's (PDP) decision to zone the 2027 presidential ticket to the South. The decision was made during the PDP National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja, where it was decided that the next presidential candidate would come from the South.

The group, known as JACON, expressed concern over the decision, stating that it was unjust and denied the North equitable access to the presidency, despite being the backbone of the party's electoral victories since 1999. Ambassador Sani Yaya, JACON's Director of Media and Public Affairs, emphasized the need for fairness and equity in the party's decision-making process.

The group warned that the North would no longer serve as a political beast or burden for the party if its leadership continued to be denied. JACON announced plans to convene an emergency meeting to strategize on how to respond to the PDP's zoning formula and urged Northern political, traditional, and religious leaders to resist the.
