PDP Speaks On Giving 2023 Presidential Ticket To Jonathan

PDP has spoken on giving 2023 presidential ticket to Jonathan.

NewsOne Nigeria reports that Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says former President Goodluck Jonathan, will be free to contest for the presidency in 2023 on its platform.

The PDP, however, insisted that the presidential ticket for 2023 election has not been zoned to any region of the country yet.

This online news platform understands that Prince Uche Secondus, the National Chairman of the party, made this comment this during a media parley on Thursday, December 10 in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

The PDP National Chairman disclosed that a committee has been set up to review the party’s performance in the 2019 general elections.

On whether former Jonathan would be brought to run on the platform of the party, the PDP National Chairman said once the committee submits its report, those interested will be at liberty to throw their hats in the ring.

Secondus said: “I stand by my position that the Governor Bala-led committee is still working, they are coming out with a report on why we lost and by the time they finish, we will take decisions and the decision is not for the National Working Committee but for the entirety of our party.

“I believe that whoever is interested in the 2023 election, including the former President, the chances are there, because the PDP is a party of all.

“Everybody will have that opportunity but in clear terms, we have not taken any decision to give anybody the ticket for now.”
