The former Governor of Jigawa State and chieftain in the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Sule Lamido, said it is not possible for the party to zone its presidential ticket to the south in the coming 2023 election.


Lamido stated this in his interview with BBC Hausa service today.

He said it would not be possible because of the personal interest of some few individuals.

This followed the decision of the PDP Zonal Committee, chaired by Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, to position the office of the PDP National Chairman to North.

The decision prompted many speculations that the decision is meant to zone the presidential ticket to the south.

Although the committee said the zoning of the office of President and Vice President is not part of its mandate.

While reacting to the development, Lamido said it may not be a problem if the decision is meant to revive the acceptability and popularity of the party in the northern part of the country

Lamido said but if the decision is meant to zone the 2023 presidential candidate to the southern part of the country that would not be acceptable.

“What brings this issue is because the southern PDP and APC Governors agreed that president most comes from the Southern part of the country.

“There is no compulsion in politics everybody has equal rights and if you said you want your own, so everybody has his own as well.

“Therefore unity and progress of the country is the most important aspect not any part of the country.

"This happened 20 years back when PDP picked Obasanjo and prevented any candidate from North but it was done not by force is because it’s the solution to the country’s situation and for the future, progress and peaceful coexistence of the whole country,” Lamido stated.

Ok , continuing holding the power as a trophy
No problem..



2023 is the judgement year...

See as power they sweet northerners, yet no meaningful human, infrastructural, intellectual and social capabilities development.


Too much grammar

This man is an idiot

We are tired of jihadists ruling this corn tree

I wonder d kind of brain these Northerners have.
This people are d worst set of human beings ever existed. They ve held power more than oda regions, produce more presidents than other regions yet remain d most improverished region with all kinds,manner of evil going on in that region.
If they can tell themselves d truth, they ve benefitted more from past southerner presidents more than their own Northern brothers that ve been presidents both now & in d past yet keep shouting,thinking that they were born to rule while others are born to be ruled while also stil clamouring,lobbying, begging,enforcing 1 crippled Naejiria on other regions.
It's high time they examine their brains & tell themselves d truth & think aright by knowing that if we must be 1 Naejiria that nobody/zone was born to rule & others to be ruled.
Presidency to d Southern region... Biafra to d igbo race & it's brother scattered all over d southern regions.
Freedom to MNK,Sunday Igboho & every other freedom/liberation figther in d world Amen.

Any party that fields a Northern candidate win 2023..
Power returns North

Apc should give Yoruba ticket...

Thank u dear, i was still typing when i mistakenly pressed 'ok' button.

Power must return to the south in 2023.

Fulanis want to lock down the the presidential ticket of the 2 major parties.

Here is why:

They know that if either of the parties fields a southerner, many NE/NW christians, all most the whole NC, SW, SS and SE regions will vote that candidate to emerge president like they did for GEJ in 2011.

Hence, they are fighting tooth and nail to secure the presidential of both parties.

They will fail! Nigeria belongs to all of us.

This is just mere speculations, PDP is yet to make any pronouncement on zoning Presidential ticket and other major elective positions
