The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied zoning its 2023 presidential ticket to a particular part of the country.
The main opposition party made this known in a statement signed by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, on Saturday.
Ologunagba, who described the speculations claiming the PDP has zoned its presidential ticket to a particular part of Nigeria as ‘misleading’, enjoined Nigerians and the party members to completely disregard the unfounded zoning claims as being peddled.
The statement read: “The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to comments and speculations from certain individuals claiming that our party has zoned its presidential ticket to a particular part of the country.
“This is completely misleading as it does not in any way represent the position of our party.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP emphatically and unequivocally states that it has not zoned its Presidential ticket to any part of the country.

“The PDP is a political party founded on democratic principles and every action of the party, including zoning, is based on extensive consultations, discussions, and consideration of all the issues as well as the various tendencies and interests across the nation, with the main objective of ensuring that the unity, peaceful co-existence, and development of our nation are reinforced and promoted.
“The PDP, therefore, urges Nigerians, our teeming members, and supporters to completely disregard the unfounded zoning claims as being peddled. Our party also cautions those behind the claims to desist forthwith.
“The PDP thanks Nigerians across board for the overwhelming interest they have in our party as their sure platform to Rescue and Rebuild our nation from misrule and urge them to remain united and focused as we join forces for the task ahead,” Ologunagba stated.
