PDP Zones 2019 Presidential Ticket To North by Adeshizzy: 7:24pm On Sep 30, 2015 |
he Acting National Chairman of the the Peoples
Democratic Party, Chief Uche Secondus, has said
the party has resolved that its presidential
candidate for the 2019 general elections will come
from the northern part of the country.
He also said the former ruling party would not
repeat the “mistakes” it made in 2015.
Secondus stated this in Abuja on Wednesday while
receiving the report of the PDP Post-Election
Review Committee.
The committee is chaired by the Deputy President
of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
Secondus said the report of the committee would
be implemented, but quickly added that the report
would be sent to all the caucuses of the party for
approval.
He said, “We the members of the party and the
National Working Committee have revolved that
our presidential candidate for 2019 general
elections will come from the North.
“We won’t make the mistakes we made in the past.
We are going to move the party forward and all our
members should know that we have resolved to
respect the constitution of the party.
“We will also abide by zoning and all organs of the
party are to be carried along in deciding or
debating the reports of this committee.”
Secondus called on the members of the ruling
party and its leadership, the All Progressives
Congress, to take the nation’s interest into their
hearts.
Presenting the reports of the committee,
Ekweremadu urged the party to implement its
recommendations.
He said it would be wrong for the party to dump
the reports as it was done to other reports
submitted to the party in the past.
He added, “This is not the first time our party has
set up a committee, and this is not the first time it
will be receiving a report of this magnitude.
“The problem, which is also one of the cardinal
reasons we found ourselves in this sad state, is
that virtually all the reports – great ideas, stringent
efforts, and sacrifices by our party men and
women – were never implemented, but rather
abandoned to gather dust.”
Among many key recommendations, the
committee proposed a nationwide biometric
membership registration to align the party records
with modern technology and further boost the
integrity of its membership records as a precursor
to other reforms that had been recommended.
It further recommended that the party should
henceforth be self-funding, relying on membership
registration and enforcement of dues and levies as
its primary sources of income at all levels in line
with the PDP Constitution.
This, the committee argued, was with a view to
ending the prevailing situation where those who
“pay the piper dictate the tune”.
Ekweremadu said his committee had also
recommended that the role of party leader, which
has no basis in the constitution of the PDP, should
henceforth be discontinued at all levels.
This is to strengthen the structure of the party at
all levels. www.punchng.com/news/pdp-zones-2019-presidential-ticket-to-north/ |

So PDP wants to join Buhari in the Northernization of Nigeria? Thought they were going to give it to the SE who are their most die hard supporters? This will serve as a lesson to some people that playing politics is different from shouting. 1 Like |
