The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday denied reports that it has zoned its vice presidential slot to the South-West ahead of the 2019 presidential election.

The leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) worldwide had last week expressed disappointment over the alleged plot by some cabals in the PDP to zone the vice presidential slot to the South-West zone against the interest of the South-East.

It said if the report in circulation turned out to be true, the group would help to bury the PDP in 2019, warning, however, that the patience of Ndigbo should not be taken for granted.

However, speaking with Daily Independent, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said the report that the party’s vice presidential slot has been zoned to the South-West is unfounded and baseless as the party’s leadership has not taken any position on that.

“On zoning of the vice presidential ticket to the South-West, we have not taken any decision on that. I am not aware of that decision yet. If there is any decision on that, I believe it will be made public”, he said.

Also speaking on the multiple presidential aspirants seeking to fly the party’s flag, Ologbondiyan, who described the party’s leadership meeting with the aspirants as successful, said the National Working Committee (NWC) will continue to meet with the aspirants until the day of the primaries.

“The first meeting was a huge success. We will continue to meet with the presidential aspirants until the convention”, he said.

I will be reading other people's comments.

A VP to a northern President is useless. Prefer Senate President.

Better.
