The Governor Samuel Ortom presidential zoning committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has discarded zoning the party’s to any geopolitical zone.
The Committee while presenting its report on Tuesday, threw the ticket open to all zones.
Olisa Metuh, a former national publicity secretary of party who has been campaigning against zoning the party’s ticket said the party has chosen reason over sentiments.
He said “Thank you our distinguished 37wise men. It is all over. Indeed you have chosen reasoning over sentiment, progress over personal ambition and party unity over the lure of monetary inducement.
“The next campaign is to canvass for southeast consensus. Yes, we do not have the numbers, yes our members have chosen to be loud mouthed and aggressive instead of pursuing diplomatic engagements. But please look unto our 3 aspirants, consider their personal competence, capacity and merit. Do not visit the sins of the children on the Fathers. Our aspirants rank among the best.
“In the alternative the PDP should conduct an open debate for all the aspirants. Our best is good enough for the party and good enough for the nation.
“In the end, it is all about the PDP; the only true national party; the only party that is not personalised or appropriated by any cabal; the only party founded by the liberators of the nation from military hands and the party ready to emancipate us all from economic and security imbroglio”.
