ACTING NATIONAL CHAIRMAN, PDP, DR HALIRU MOHAMMED BELLO.

ABUJA, May 11, (THEWILL) – The political office sharing arrangement popularly referred to as zoning in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will basically remain the same, the Expanded National Caucus of the PDP has ruled.

Recall THEWILL had exclusively reported the details of the office sharing deal as reached last week by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and very top leaders of the PDP at the Obudu Resort in Cross River State.

The Expanded Caucus of the party at a meeting it summoned inside the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday night adopted the draft resolution of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, which had earlier recommended that the North East zone be awarded the National Chairmanship of the party and the Deputy Speakership of the House of Representatives; North Central zone – Senate Presidency; South West – Speaker of the House of Representatives; the South East – Deputy Senate President and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF); the South South -- the House Leader, while the South East would also produce the Chief Whip of the House as presently maintained.

The current SGF, Alhaji Yayale Ahmed is from the North East, he is expected to vacate the position.

THEWILL gathered from a single source privy to discussions at the meeting, which had President Goodluck Jonathan, Vice President Namadi Sambo, Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Dr Haliru Mohammed Bello, PDP BOT Chairman Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief Anthony Anenih, Senator David Mark, members of the Board of Trustees of the party, PDP governors amongst others, that the party decided to stick to a previous agreement it had reached before the elections.

With the office sharing deal reached, Senator David Mark, who received the backing of many PDP governors including those from the South East (they failed to push for the South East) and the PDP executive would return as Senate President. The South East zone which had maintained that it wanted the Senate Presidency or Speaker of the House would nominate Mark’s deputy.

The Yoruba speaking states (South West) will present the Speaker of the House, where only three ranking PDP members won their re-election. Hon. Muraina Ajibola (Oyo State), an Obasanjo protégé is expected to become Speaker as exclusively reported by THEWILL earlier.

The source told THEWILL that the Expanded Caucus agreed that the Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Haliru Mohammed Bello will remain in office till 2012, when the party conducts its National Convention.

The various geo-political zones of the party would have to meet amongst themselves to decide which state presents the persons that would occupy offices zoned to them.

I wonder why THE WILL did the highlighted. And same people are blaming GEJ and pointing fingers all over the place?

Eko Ile:



I wonder why THE WILL did that,

as u can see it is the se governors themselves that did it not North or SW

Dem try for SE nao, at least dem get Deputy Senate President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and the Chief Whip of the House.

Is it not enough?

OAM4J:

Is it not enough?

That is not what we wanted. And they can take it back. . .

EzeUche_:

That is not what we wanted. And they can take it back. . .

well tell ohaneze that why are u being an ingrate

EzeUche_:

That is not what we wanted. And they can take it back. . .  

But was any kind of agreement reached with GEJ/PDP before the elections to deliver these positions or no show at the polls ?

EzeUche_:

That is not what we wanted. And they can take it back. . .  

Dont forget that the president is also partly from SE. His presidency is a joint ticket of SS and SE. One of his name is Azikwe, remember?

OAM4J:

There is no "partly' in it. It is either you identify with the Igbo SOLELY or you are not Igbo.

EzeUche_:

There is no "partly' in it. It is either you identify with the Igbo SOLELY or you are not Igbo.

then GEJ is igbo then

ohaneze told us in nigeria that he is igbo and they even gave him ikenga position in Aligbo as a show of ture blood

His name is Goodluck Ebelechukwu Jonathan Azikiwe

That sounds pretty igbo to me. . .
