….Warn that denying South ticket may spell doom for the party


NO fewer than 11 groups ing the presidential aspiration of the former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi yesterday embarked on march across the country to drum home their demand that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, should zone the presidential ticket to the South, particularly the South East, warning that failure to do so might spell doom for the party in 2023.

In Anambra State, the groups marched from the popular Alex Ekwueme square through the major streets to the party’s state secretariat at Udoka Housing Estate where they delivered a letter to the party’s istrative secretary for onward transmission to the national chairman of PDP, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu.

Anambra State coordinator for Peter Obi Network, and coordinating chairman of all Peter Obi groups, Mr. Ikechukwu Anonye, who presented the letter urged the party to reverse the decision to throw the presidential race open to all the zones in the country in the interest of equity and justice.

According to him, PDP should specifically zone the ticket to the South East, adding that the party should forget 2023 if it fails to do so.

The letter reads in part: “Recall that the South East has been a home for the PDP and we have consistently ed and voted for our party since 1999 and that largely s for the reason we are grossly marginalized by the Buhari/APC – led federal government.

“We are hereby calling on the leadership of our great party to adhere to the policy of zoning and rotation of both party and elective offices, especially presidential nomination, for the sake of equity, justice and fairness as referenced in Chapter 1, Section 7, Clause 3c of the PDP constitution.

“We are, however, still certain that our party will reconsider the option of allowing the South East to produce the next president of Nigeria, especially in the person of Mr. Peter Obi, considering a consensus option as alternative, given the age- long marginalization”.

Addressing reporters at the PDP secretariat, Anonye said the solidarity walk was to let the PDP know that they were aware of the schemings going on in the party to deny the South the presidential ticket.

He said: “We know that the PDP has a constitution that s rotation of the presidency between the North and the South, and now that it is the turn of the south, and precisely the South East, we are hearing that a committee has met and thrown it open for everybody. We consider it a level of injustice on the South East.

“We want to our for him and to let the party know that any unjust action will not be accepted by Nigerians. We want them to revert to the South East or the south in general and we know that they can rescind that decision.

“If the party fails to zone the ticket to the South East, PDP should forget it. Peter Obi is acceptable across Nigeria and if he is this accepted and they decide to disenfranchise him, then it spells doom for the party in 2023”.

The choice before PDP is simple,vote the money bags in the Primaries and remain in Opposition for another 8 years or Vote Peter Obi and practically stroll to the Presidency.

Money will always win... That's why other big weights are not bothered. Once people see dollar

They will be like just leave us in opposition

We are not begging PDP.

Give anybody the ticket aside obi and fail woefully. Period

When did all these children enter politics sef. Imagine the effontry. Threatening a party that you won't vote them if they don't field a candidate, so that will make the Nassarawa, Rivers or Bauchi delegates vote Obi abi??

PDP has contested in 6 and have won 4 presidential elections before Obi. Most of all these people talking don't even have a PVC. I'm sure they do not know what:
•Ward
•Polling Unit
•Delegates
•polling booth even are sef.

Heck, some of them don't even know their ward

Even Peter Obi will happily step down if the PDP decided to go the concensus way. He should focus his effort on getting Atiku's VP slot now that Wike has come to drag it with him.

normal yen yen yen.... usual chest beating.

Party of papa deceive pikin/scam OBI HIM TU LIE

Capital letter "P" for the man wey Sabi.
Peter Obi or nothing for PDP!

Na so?



P.eople

D.emanding

P.eter?

Children of hate, frustrations and perdition, una see una lives so, una miserable lives.
See the 2 guys you have taken as your demi gods all because of hatred for PMB have turned you to laughing stocks and playing with your tiny instruments.
We told you..... miserable and frustrated lots.

Definitely, Peter Obi is gradually becoming a movement. Those that oppose Peter Obi are doing so because they don't want him to be the one to put Nigeria on the right track. "Pure envy and hatred"
Peter Obi we know

2023 for Peter or Starboy. We can’t afford to be taken back to Stone Age.

Ha, it is well with una oo

Bar1941:
They should go and sit down, even Peter Obi himself knows he is paper weight in PDP, he is just trying every means to stay relevant.

They are matching for Obi in Abuja, Lagos, Calabar, Ph etc, how come we have not seen them doing same in Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu or Anambra his State of Origin? Afterall charity they say begins at home. If he can't restore peace in South East, how will he do that for a project as big as Nigeria?

Hope Peter Obi's rising profile is not giving you heart attack. He is among the topmost three contenders for presidency and definitely number one based on capacity and potentials

I will say this one more time before the election

1. Security+looting+touting= Tinubu
2. Insecurity+banditry+looting= atiku
3. Insecurity+ good economy+jobs= osinbanjo
4. Security+looting+chop I chop= amaechi
5. Jobs+good economy+united Nigeria+little insecurity= obi

Vote now.... Choose between 1-5

Always threatening

One major challenge of Obi's candidacy is the fact that Nigeria elections have always been by consensus from the primary to the main general elections.

let the fire keep burning.. Peter Obi or no other

PO is the answer

Peter Obi is d man

If PDP fails to give Obi the ticket and gives it to the highest bidder like Atiku or Wike, then I and family will not be voting for any other candidates either in pdp or apc in the 2023 elections.

I think the pdp is more concerned with apc zoning their candidate to the north than a peter obi, once apc produces a nothern candidate as their party flagbearer, by instinct pdp looks for the most popular northern candidate in their midst, your guess is as good as mine, ATIKU WITH PETER OBI AS HIS VICE no more, no less.

Pdp a party full of former and new tricks stars Na who wiseup go win...
