PDP Legal Adviser: Zoning Presidency to South Doesn't Bar Northern Aspirants

Kamaldeen Ajibade, the National Legal Adviser of the PDP, clarified that the party's decision to zone the presidential ticket to the South does not prevent aspirants from the North from contesting. Speaking on Arise Television, Ajibade explained that while zoning is part of the party's internal arrangement, it does not override the Nigerian Constitution, which grants every citizen the right to run for elective office.

He stressed the importance of unity and reconciliation within the party, urging politicians to prioritize collective interests over personal ambitions. Ajibade emphasized that zoning to the South does not restrict candidates from other regions from showing interest in the presidency.
