The trio of Governor Nyesom Wike, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and Chief Ayim Pius Ayim have what it takes to win the Presidency.


Which Okowa? The self-styled "talk na do? Are you kidding me?

At least, we are getting somewhere. In addition, I’m in support of your advocacy for the ticket of PDP to be zoned to the south. Indeed, it would be a great injustice and a slap on all southerners if the ticket is zoned to the North. Southerners like Wike, Okowa, Peter Obi and Ekweremadu are more qualified to be president than Atiku, Tambuwal, Saraki and Bala Mohammed. They should all put up a fight on behalf of the south.
Ironically, the emboldened defected to APC in 2014 to actualise power shift to north in 2015, they still want to lay claim to PDP's ticket after actualizing power shift to north.

I have made my stance known on preference for Southern Presidential candidate, it's now up to the Zoning Committee to do the needful.

All these stuffs you are saying are jargon, concoction and interpolation... your just spewing nonsense and twisting words.. was there any conference or communique that validates ur argument?
TonyeBarcanista:

Let's stop this back and forth... There wees loyalists of Ekweme that weren't comfortable with the overnight preference for SW and Obasanjo, who then was a political outsider in PDP. Those aggrieved gave Ekweme the meagre votes he got despite the fact that he isn't from SW

1999: PDP Zoned To South (Southwest most preferred)
At the formation of PDP in 1998, Chief (Dr) Alex Ekweme, a former Vice President in the second republic, was seen as the frontline candidate to clinch the presidential nomination of PDP in the January 1999 election. Though the party ceded the ticket to the south, majority of its leaders preferred a candidate from the southwest in order to appease the Yoruba nation for the injustice meted on late Chief MKO Abiola, and this decision threw up Chief Olusegun Obasanjo from Ogun state as candidate.

2003: PDP's Ticket Was Thrown Open
Contrary to popular saying, the 2003 presidential candidatcy of PDP was neither zoned to the Southwest nor any part of the south. In fact, the ticket was contested by President Olusegun Obasanjo from the Southwest, Chief Alexander Ekweme from the Southeast, Chief Barnabas Gemade from the Northcentral (Benue state) and the late Abubakar Rimi from Kano state of Northwest. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar from the northeast (Adamawa) was almost a contestants until an appeal to him against such by President Obasanjo, who at that time was his deputy.

2007: PDP Zoned Ticket To North
Penultimate to the primary election of December 2006 to pick the Presidential candidate of PDP, stakeholders in the party across the country entered into gentleman agreement for power rotation to the north in 2007 after Obasanjo's second term. The party further "zoned" the Presidential ticket to the north. That decision buried the Presidential ambitions of frontline Southerners such as Governors Peter Odili (Rivers), Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu), Donald Duke (Cross river) and Victor Attah (Akwa Ibom). Governor Umaru Musa Yar'adua of Katsina state backed by President Obasanjo and PDP Governors, had no major opposition. Although Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha from Imo state contested at the primary, a former National Security Adviser, Alhaji Aliyu Gusau, was the main opponent of Yar'adua, who won with ease.

2011: No Zoning Was Announced, Ticket Thrown Open
Although President Goodluck Jonathan, who succeeded Musa Yar'adua upon his demise, was interested in the Presidential ticket of PDP, the party did not make any pronouncement to zone its ticket to the South.

Instead, interested aspirants like Governor Bukola Saraki (Kwara), Gen Ibrahim Babangida (Niger), General Aliyu Gusau (Zamfara), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (Adamawa), Mrs Sarah Jubril and President Goodluck Jonathan (Bayelsa), were playing their cards to outsmart each other.

Penultimate to that primary, a powerful northern group, Northern Political Leaders Forum, NPLF, led by Mallam Adamu Ciroma, brought the 4 leading northern candidates, namely; Alhaji Abubakar, General Gusau, General Babangida and Governor Saraki, together and made them understand the need to put up a consensus northern candidate to challenge President Jonathan for the PDP ticket at the primary. The group which set up a committee to screen all 4 northern aspirants, eventually named Alhaji Abubakar as the northern consensus candidate for the PDP. The committee's decision was welcomed by Generals Ibrahim Babangida, General Aliyu Gusau and Governor Bukola Saraki; backed Atiku Abubakar into the PDP primary.

The Primary election was eventually contested by President Goodluck Jonathan (Bayelsa/Southsouth), Alhaji Abubakar (Adamawa/Northeast) and Sarah Jubril (also from the north). President Jonathan won the primary election by wide margin despite the political schemings.

2015: PDP Zoned To South (Southsouth)
The primary election of December 2014 to determine the candidate of the party in 2015 was only the third time the party will microzone its ticket to a particular zone when it adopted President Goodluck Jonathan (Southsouth) as consensus candidate, and precluded every other aspirants from obtaining nomination form nor contesting.

2019: PDP Zoned Ticket To North
Prior to the October 2018 Presidential election that threw up Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the candidate of PDP for the 2019 contest, the party announced zoning of the office to aspirants from the north, and precluded the south from seeking its ticket. In line with that, all the aspirants for the ticket of the party were northerners. They include, Senator Bukola Saraki (Kwara), Senator Ahmed Makarfi (Kaduna), Senator Datti Baba Ahmed (Kaduna), Former Governor Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto) and Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe), former Governor Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto) and eventual winner Atiku Abubakar (Adamawa).

From the above, it is clear that the four times PDP zoned its presidential ticket, it was two apiece for the south (1999 and 2015) and north (2007 and 2019). The tickets of 2003, which was won by President Olusegun Obasanjo (from Ogun) was contested by two southerners (Obasanjo and Ekweme) and two northerners (Barnabas Gemade and Aliyu Gusau). In similar fashion, the 2011 nomination that was won by President Jonathan was contested by two northerners (Atiku Abubakar and Sarah Jubril) and one southerner (Goodluck Jonathan).

Therefore, as we prepare for the 2023 election, what is expected of the PDP is either to return the zoning of the party's presidential ticket to the south OR leave it an open contest among interested aspirants.

It was micro-zoned to the SW, but people like Ekwueme and Graham Douglas still ran, because their zones even had greater claims to that presidency than OBJ's. The reason being that the only Igbo man to hold he executive powers in Nigeria was Ironsi and he was there for just six months and he governed in the 1960s. Around that time, the SS had never seen the presidency.

Compare this to the fact that OBJ governed for a number of years in the 70s and Shonekan presided for a number of months in the 90s. So basically the SE and SS had greater claims for consideration than the SW in the 1999 presidential politicking.

Abubakar Rimi may have contested in the primaries also, and this was simply because it wasn't against the constitution for qualified individual to seek the presidency of Nigeria, provided you haven't done two tenures as the president.

In APP, Ogbonnaya Onu who was the candidate of the bigger party in the coalition, had to step down for the Yoruba candidate in smaller AD, because the ticket was also micro-zoned to the SW.

So basically the two major parties in that election microzoned to the SW

I’m done with this argument. Even the OP has agreed with my position that the PDP never microzoned its presidential ticket to the south west in 1999. He has edited his post accordingly. If you still want to go about with falsehood, it’s your choice and I can’t help you any further.

If PDP zoned its presidential ticket to the North in 2019 (but lost for obvious reasons to Gen Buhari), it would be foolhardy for the party to zone the ticket to North again as if zoning is a waiting game. If Buhari has used 8 years of the North, then a Southern candidate with be the only person that will deliver victory to it, even APC will loose woefully if they zone presidency again to the North after 8 years of Buhari. APC bigwigs like Tinubu and his boys the Governors and Ministers etc may leave the party in droves like they left AD and set up another party thereby weakening APC and making it very vulnerable for PDP to defeat what is APC without the South West. The best option for 2023 presidential election is for PDP to zone it to South East or South South for instance Peter Obi or Wike, let APC zone their ticket to South West ; Tinubu( he is too old though), Osibanjo or Fashola. Let the North decide which party they prefer.

Southerners like Wike, Okowa, Peter Obi and Ekweremadu are more qualified to be president than Atiku, Tambuwal, Saraki and Bala Mohammed. They should all put up a fight on behalf of the south.

Stop spreading falsehood. PDP never zoned its ticket to south west in 1999. The ticket was zoned to the south and all interested southerners like Obasanjo from south west, Alex Ekwueme from south east and Graham Douglas from south south contested for the ticket and Obasanjo won.

In 2003, the ticket was thrown open and Obasanjo and Ekwueme again contested for the ticket. It was a very keen contest despite the fact that Obasanjo was the incumbent president. Even after the result was announced, Alex Ekwueme refused to concede defeat and congratulate the winner. Instead, he called the PDP primary election a charade on national television.

Comprehension isn’t that hard, check what he wrote and what you are saying

OP said zone to south
