Addressing members of the party’s highest decision-making body who approved the recommendations of the PDP Zoning Committee, he asked them to be fair and just in deciding where the party’s presidential candidate would come from.
Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the main opposition party in the 2019 elections, believes the PDP has the right to determine who represents it or not, just as citizens reserve the right to decide who to vote for.
According to him, there is nothing like a southern or northern president as what is important is that such an individual must be a Nigerian.
The former vice president stressed that the decision of the NEC would largely determine whether or not the PDP would have a chance in 2023 to return to power or not.
