Enugu meeting: We have no mandate to zone president, vice president positions - PDP Zoning Committee

…Adjourns till next week for conclusion of work

The meeting of the Zoning Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for National Offices of the Party ahead of the October 30-31 National Convention ended in Enugu, on Thursday, with the members of the committee adjourning till next week for conclusion of their work.

Addressing newsmen after the closed-door meeting held at the Government House, Enugu, the Chairman of the Committee and Governor of Enugu State, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, said that “we had a fruitful meeting and we adjourned to conclude next week”.

Earlier in his welcome address, Gov. Ugwuanyi clarified that the committee has no mandate to zone political offices such as President or Vice President of Nigeria.

The governor explained that “our Committee is strictly limited to the PDP National Executive Offices to be contested at the 2021 PDP National Convention scheduled for the end of October, 2021”, stressing: “We have no mandate to zone political offices such as President or Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.

Gov. Ugwuanyi maintained that the PDP remains the most credible platform to deliver good and accountable governance to Nigeria, adding that the work of the committee will contribute immensely “in this deliberate search for National Officers of our Party that will help PDP achieve the lofty ideals and goals of our founding fathers”.

He therefore encouraged members of the committee to be frank, open and constructive in their proposals and debates, and also exhibit consistency with the enormity of their mandate.

“The membership and leadership of this committee have been carefully selected as it is composed of very experienced, competent and eminent Nigerians who are desirous of repositioning the PDP to play its role not just as the main opposition political party in Nigeria but to build a party that offers alternative policy proposals and hope to Nigerians that there is still light at the end of the tunnel”, Gov. Ugwuanyi said.

Members of the committee present at the meeting include the Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom who is the Deputy Chairman, the Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Barr. Mahdi Aliyu Mohammed who serves as Secretary, former Presidents of the Senate, Senator Iyorchia Ayu and Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, and former Governors of Niger, Ekiti, Sokoto, Jigawa and Adamawa states, Dr. Muazu Aliyu Babangida, Ayodele Fayose, Attahiru Bafarawa, Sule Lamido, and Boni Haruna, respectively.

They also include Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, Rt. Hon. Sunday K. E Okoye, Chief Dan Orbih, Chief (Dr.) Ali Odefa, Amb. Mrs. Dr. Kema Chikwe, Chief Osita Chidoka, Barr. Chidi Lloyd, Senator Bassey Ewa Henshaw, Senator Emmanuel Nwaka, Engr. Donatus Udeh, among others.

Useless party

Party of Wailing Wailers

Party of terrorists- Aisha Yesufu

Party of Tax Collectors- Wike

Party of Stealing is not Corruption

Party in power for sixteen years, but no single project completed

Party that started kidnapping, by kidnapping a sitting Governor

politicians, party first... other issues are secondary to them.

2023 is the year of reckoning. The tussle for power go pass timber and calibers...




Only God can help this corntree....

It's alright

This is dark politics. Keeping cards to the chest.


But as Nigeria political follower ,2023 will be between
Tinubu/ElRufia of APC Vs PDP Atiku/Obi
Or Goodluck Jonathan/Ganduje of APC Vs Atiku/OBI of PDP


If the Southern part continue with their disunity the north we carry the day.

Have you gotten your PVC?



Place your advert here.

PDP...the only opposition party that left their critic assignment to Activist like brother Reno, Sowore etc...They have the opportunity even as we speak to levelled evidential allegations against the ruling party which will really go a long way in winning 2023. You don't prepare for battle in front line!.

Seems they don't know how to exploit the weakness of their opponent which also serves as an input for the next elections campaign

They are holding meetings up and down...

you have no mandate to rule self........fake constitution!

The problem with the South East candidacy is 3 things.

1. Nnamdi Kanu
2. Low voter turnout and general voter apathy.
3. No strong candidates that can pull votes across all regions.
