Presidency: Party Decision On Zoning Is Supreme - Udom Emmanuel, Peter Obi by powerfulguy: 7:45pm On Apr 29, 2022
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Aspirants, Gov. Udom Emmanuel of Akwa-Ibom and former Governor of Anambra, Mr Peter Obi say the decision of the party regarding zoning is supreme.

Both PDP chieftains say the party’s decision on zoning of political offices would be obeyed by all aspirants, once it is announced.

The aspirants stated this while speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Friday immediately after their screening by the PDP Presidential Screening Committee, chaired by former Senate President David Mark.

Fielding question on recent decision of the Southern governors that the presidency should be zoned to the South while it seemed the party was saying otherwise, Emmanuel said that “party is supreme.”

“Party is supreme, if the party has spoken we will all abide by what the party says,” he said.

Emmanuel added that the delegates to the party’s national convention would determine who would emerge as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 elections.

The governor also said that he did not foresee any problem arising at the party primaries for presidential elections because of the 17 aspirants contesting the party’s ticket.

“If there were not many aspirants, I would have been worried. Honestly, that is where it would have been boring.

“You see this as a new spirit, a new wave of PDP, where everybody is allowed to express himself or herself.

“So allow us to express ourselves on that day at wherever the venue will be.

“I think the delegates will determine who will rescue and restore this country.

“But trust me, whoever they will bring up as the candidate of the party will be one of the best that this country has ever produced, because look at the people that we are parading, who are aspirants.

“I think it is just one of the best that we are waiting for,” Emmanuel added.

The governor, who said all the PDP presidential aspirants were eminently qualified to emerge PDP candidate, however, said that all factors were working in his favour.

“I want to believe that so many things are to my own advantage.

“Because if you look at my antecedents, my training, my capacity and above all, I think, age is also on my side, because the problem with Nigeria today needs a very strong, agile young man.

“All around, I think so many factors are in my favour and that will be decided by the electorate on the primaries,” he said.

On his part, Obi said that the party had the final say on issue of zoning but should care about what Nigerians are saying or looking for.

Obi said that the party should be concerned about how to create a future for the teeming unemployed Nigerian youth and pulling Nigerians out of hunger.

“The party has the final say. I can’t have a thought; I’m a member of a party. If the party members say this is where they want the party to go, if you’re a member of an organisation, you respect that organisation.

“That is why I said, whatever we do, the most critical thing is what we must do to pull Nigerians out of poverty and create a future for teeming unemployed youths of Nigeria.

“We must change our polity and change to what other nations are doing and that is building a better nation for their people.

“We cannot go on around things that are yesterday. Let’s think about tomorrow. How come that a great nation such as Nigeria is not doing well? Simple: Changing from consumption to production.”

Obi, who also commended the screening process, said the delegates would be the ones to determine who emerged the party’s candidate.

“My chance is just for the delegates to decide. I’m not going to impose myself on them.

“My chance is for the delegates to reflect on the nation and decide what we should do to guarantee a future for our young ones.”

For Fita Obey....Mission Impossible.

How can he beat Saraki...Tambuwal or Atiku?

He is already conceding. Would blame it on PDP that his people have asslicked for 20 good years without no reward. grin

Atiku would have stood a chance with SW or SS Vice President in 2019.

He will not even consider Peter Obi as his houseboy now.

Expectedly, the party is supreme. However, the party must be fair to all to avoid unnecessary wranglings or litigation.

If Obi and the likes think PDP can zone presidency to their region, he must be joking. PDP will still produce a northern presidency.
