Chuks Okocha in Abuja

As the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) and the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) struggle to hammer out a deal on the zoning of their presidential slots ahead of the next general election, the South-south has said a southerner must replace President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023. The zone said their position was in line with the zoning arrangements of the two parties.

The South-south had in several position arguments maintained that it should be allowed to complete its two terms of eight years, which was cut short by the defeat of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, in the spirit of fairness and equity. Most individuals from the zone had warned repeatedly that no one should allow himself to be used to scuttle the zone’s chance of producing the next president.

Yesterday, the Pan Niger Delta Development Forum (PANDEF) further advanced the position further, saying there would be no compromise in the resolve to have a southerner as the next president in 2023.

PANDEF’s position followed the report of a PDP panel, which threw open the presidential ticket of the party, generating a ripple of unease among stakeholders within and outside the party.

PANDEF said it was not bothered about the part of the south that produced the next president. “Whether the southerner is from the South-south, South-east or South-west is a different matter entirely,” it said.

Will you for once stop this your madness and make reasonable contribution.

not must Mr writer.

meanwhile, the APC has decided to zone it's ticket to the south.
the ticket is opened to both the south west, east and south south.

as for we our full support is for Hon chibuke Rotimi Amaechi come 2023..

meanwhile PDP values power much more than the masses hence they are rezoning back to the north while my ipob brothers who wants to leave Nigeria are still forcing the APC to micro zone it's ticket to the east.
while they are less concerned about PDP who they've supported for the past 16years to consider them worthy.

smh..

Desperate and divided ambitions..will be ur undoing.
