The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has said the party’s presidential candidate will not emerge through
zoning.
The party said this in response
to a call by the Senator representing Kano Central, Rabiu Kwankwaso that PDP
should pick its presidential candidate from the North-West.
Kwankwaso had said a candidate
from the North West stands a better chance against President Muhammadu Buhari
in 2019.
However, PDP’s spokesperson, Kola
Ologbondiyan noted that all aspirants should present their plans to delegates
who will determine who becomes the party’s Presidential candidate.
He said: “Senator Kwankwaso said
what in his opinion, represents the best option for the PDP but as a party that
is democratic, there is no way we will shut out any aspirant because of where
he comes from.
“The party has encouraged them
(aspirants) to reach out to Nigerians and present their plans so that at the
end, the one that will emerge the candidate will carry the others along.
“I repeat, we are not going to
shut anybody out of the presidential race because we believe each of these
aspirants has what it takes to outperform President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC
if given the opportunity to preside over the affairs of this nation.”
