Nigerian Governors voted under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have voted for the zoning of the party’s National Chairmanship to the north.
The Governors elected under the platform of the PDP reached the decision on Wednesday at Akwa Ibom governor’s residence in Abuja where they voted 9-3 in favour of the north.
The governors decision solves one part of the party’s history which shows that the party national chairmanship and presidency don’t come from the same zone.
The meeting resolved to pass the resolution of the governors to the zoning committee of the national convention, currently scheduled to take place on October 30 and 31 in Abuja.
Governors present at the meeting include Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Adamu Fintiri (Adamawa) and Darius Ishaku (Taraba), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto State, Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Godwin Obaseki (Edo), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta), and Douye Diri (Bayelsa).
