Jonathan lost because of breach of power shift agreement to the North – PDP




Henry Umoru
ABUJA- NATIONAL leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP said Saturday that it lost the March 28 Presidential election to Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC because former President Goodluck Jonathan failed to honour the earlier agreement the party entered with the north that after eight years by the South, the North would then have its own turn.

According to PDP, former President Jonathan did broke the power shift pact by succumbing to pressure from some governors, party leaders and stakeholders that he should contest the 2015 Presidential election instead of allowing the north to contest and complete its traditional eight year tenure, just as it vowed that, with the defeat after sixteen years in government and now in the opposition, it has learnt a serious lesson of respecting zoning and agreements in line with the party’s constitution.

Speaking with Journalists in Abuja, PDP National Vice Chairman, South South, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh explained that there was a gentleman arrangement by the 34 ‘great’ men who formed the PDP that they would start with rotation of power after eight years between the South and the North, starting with the South where former President Olusegun Obasanjo emerged in 1999.

Zoning was designed to ensure equity and give sense of belonging to every ethnic nationality in Nigeria but some selfish politicians (GEJ. Anenih. OBJ. and other southern politicians and stakeholders) killed it in 2011.

Zoning is dead since 2011. Nigeria will never backpedal to that agreement.
