The battle for 2023 has begun. Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has warned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that its attempts to zone the presidential ticket to the north will lead to its ugly end.
Ohanaeze was reacting to the resolution by the Northern States Governors’ Forum with Northern Emirs and Chiefs on Monday in Kaduna which vehemently rejected the clamour for power shift.
Spokesman of Ohanaeze Alex Ogbonnia, in a statement, said the PDP can as well consider itself dead forever if it proceeds to zone the presidential ticket to the north.
It recalled there was a gentleman’s agreement between the north and south in 1998 to rotate power, an arrangement the body has been kept to the letters until now.
Ohanaeze berated northern leaders to plotting to retain power at a time the region was consumed by banditry, terrorism and insecurity.
It pointed out the north despite producing most of the nation’s leaders has remained underdeveloped and slow, an issue it said should have been the focus of northern leaders as against seeking political power at all time.
