Barely two days after the Supreme Court struck out the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari as winner of the February 23, 2019 election, agitation for the 2023 presidential ticket has commenced. Credible sources told our correspondent yesterday in Abuja that some power brokers in the party were already planning how to field another candidate in 2023.

It was gathered that high ranking members of the PDP, including some serving governors were plotting to field a northern candidate in 2023, while some party bigwigs from the South felt cheated by such arrangement and are challenging the move.

A Board of Trustees (BoT) member from the South who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity said: “It is true that some power brokers in the PDP were not comfortable with the emergence of Atiku but we supported him as our candidate.” “So now that our case has been thrown out, there are pockets of agitations regarding which zone should produce the presidential candidate in 2023. “But I think the party also needs to handle this matter with caution because, already, many of our members are likely to jump ship to the APC. I’m also considering that option so I don’t want to comment on the matter anymore,” he said.

But PDP National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan told our correspondent yesterday in a telephone chat that the party has not taken a decision on its 2023 presidential ticket. “There is no agitation within the PDP over the 2023 presidential ticket. It’s even too early to talk about 2023, but I can assure you that the future of the PDP is very bright. “We have not even seen the reasons they (Supreme Court) advanced for their judgement. So we have not reached discussion on that yet,” he said.

Sai Kwankwaso!

PDP IS DEAD.
these guys really destroyed Nigeria. I don't know why they still have supporters.
Nigerians are quick to forget their past!

the return of Atiku in 2023 is imminent. Everlasting flagbearer

That will be the party’s greatest mistake.

If Buhari can run for president many times before eventually realizing his wish, then Atiku can also do same. Atiku is not too old to run again and be president of our great country.

atiku, ogboru, jimmy agbaje, ken Imasuangbon they are perpetual contesters pmb used to be among them till he won.

In it zoned to the north in 2023, kwankwaso or tambuwal will get it.

It will be a huge demonstration of ingratitude, mistrust, and hatred by pdp if they dont field an Easterner for 2023 given how hard those guys have worked for the party.

Twenty years of diligence, loyalty and obedience is no joke.

A younger candidate is preferable.

Unless they renamed the party names, Pdp is dead in Nigeria

at 78

If pdp like they can make Atiku their life flagbearer for presidential election they won't come back to power.

If pdp want to come back to power they have to break the alliance of northwest and south west region .cos these two zones together have 32 millions eligible voters together.
north East and North Central is a battle ground any day any time .no party can win it landslide.

South West the Economic power of Apc

North west the Political power of Apc

Until their seperation pdp will not come back to power.


Tambuwal, kwankaso cannot outperform atiku cos they don't have the resources ,followership and national appeal.. Tambuwal escape losing his seat with less than 300 votes while kwankaso lost everything .

PDP is a gazillion times better than APC!!!
APC has no respect for rule of law!

APC has no policy direction!

APC plunged Nigerians into poverty!!!


PDP is the only truly national party in Nigeria!

So they are not ready to give South East a chance despite 20 years of uncompromising support.

Politics is not one plus one equal two. Atiku contested against Buhari, an incumbent president and a very formidable northern figure. If the APC fields a southern candidate and PDP fields a Kwankwaso or a Tambuwal, would the teeming APC supporters in the north massively vote for APC? A northern friend of mine told me there are no APC supporters in the north, what they have are Buhari supporters. What about the born to rule mentality of the northerners? Interesting time ahead.

Why?

He is a major sponsor of the party

Who destroyed Nigeria more than Buhari

A man who borrowed money in four years more than all his precedessors combined since 99..

A man who holds the record as the only sitting president on earth who has spent more time away from his country while in office

Who will support Buhari aside a mad fellow

APc will foolishly field Tinubu... Who will start failing from appointing his running mate.. A Muslim Muslim ticket..

PDP will field kwankanso or Tambuwal... With a more balanced running mate like wike or obi..

I think APc is already finished

PDP zoned it's Presidential ticket to the north in 2019 and they couldn't win. The Igbo's gets the ticket come 2023. The north has served it's turn through Buhari.
Both APC and PDP should field Igbo candidates. This is the best deal in the interest of the nation.
