PDP Zoning Decision Vindicates Barrister Wike – Olukayode Eseyin
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has officially zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the Southern region of Nigeria, a move that has been hailed as a vindication of Barrister Nyesom Wike’s principled stand on rotational leadership.
In a statement signed by Hon. Oluwakayode Emmanuel Eseyin, PDP Youth Leader Kabba/Bunu, Kogi State, and Chairman Forum of Northern PDP Local Government Youth Leaders, the decision was welcomed as a courageous step towards fairness and equity within the party.
Barrister Wike, former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, had been a strong advocate for rotational leadership, despite facing personal and political costs.
His stance, rooted in the PDP’s founding principles of balance, fairness, and respect for all zones, has now been affirmed by the party’s zoning decision.
The statement called on all PDP members to rally around the zoning decision, emphasizing its potential to foster national reconciliation and electoral victory in 2027.
It concluded that Barrister Wike’s vision, courage, and patriotism have been vindicated, and that he should be recognized as a visionary leader.
The statement ended with a call to unity and a commitment to the PDP’s principles, wishing the party and the nation well.
