Two national grassroots organisations have said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is on the path to perdition over its refusal to zone its presidential ticket to the southern part of the country.
The Southern and Middle Belt Alliance (SaMBA) and Peter Obi Support Network (POSN) in a statement released after the PDP NEC aligned itself with the recommendation of the PDP National Zoning Committee that the presidential election should be left open, stated that the PDP violated its constitution by failing to zone its presidential ticket, even as the groups threatened court action against the party for violating its own constitution on zoning.
A statement jointly signed by the spokesman of Southern and Middle Belt Alliance (SaMBA), Prince Rwang Pam Jnr and spokesman of Peter Obi Support Network (POSN) Comrade Sani Saeed Altukry, said the decision of PDP’s National Executive Council (NEC) not to enforce its own laws and zone the ticket to the south had clearly shown that PDP had no regard for the people of the southern region – particularly the South-east and South-south – despite their loyalty to the party since 1999.
