South -East to produce president after Yar’Adua

In what may appear as a major political upset in 2011, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] may have ceded the presidential slot to the South East in the next general election. Accordingly, the party said it is the turn of the Igbos to produce the next president at the expiration of the tenure of President Umaru Yar’Adua.

This development may have altered the popular belief that President Yar’Adua will have an automatic ticket in 2011.

Similarly, the party said it had concluded arrangements to summon all its governors to give account of their stewardship as it approaches the next general election. The party is already taking stewardship account from its ministers. No fewer than five ministers had been to the party secretariat to brief the National Working Committee [NWC] of their activities.

The South East zone is therefore expected, according to the PDP, to unite with a view to putting their acts together to clinch the nation’s top post.
