Olawepo-Hashim Supporters Criticize PDP's Zoning Decision
Supporters of Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim's presidential ambition criticize the PDP's resurrection of zoning, calling it regressive and detrimental to party unity. The group rejects the idea of zoning in the current political landscape, emphasizing inclusivity, fairness, and merit over sectional arrangements.
Olawepo-Hashim's camp maintains that the PDP should prioritize unity and strength to challenge the ruling APC effectively. They denounce the recent decision by the PDP's NEC to uphold zoning, labeling it illegal and unpopular.
The supporters argue that the Electoral Act of 2022 does not empower political parties to impose zoning conditions on aspirants beyond what is explicitly stated. This stance has led to protests among party members nationwide.
