Veteran journalist Dele Momodu has stated that zoning of the presidential ticket is not constitutional.
Recall that the PDP had zoned its presidential ticket to the South. The party had taken the decision during its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja.
Speaking via a post on X, Momodu argued that when former president Musa Yar’adua died, the PDP never insisted that power should remain in the North.
He pointed out that Goodluck Jonathan would have governed the country for 9 years if he had successfully defeated Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
He asserted that all competent and qualified Nigerians should be allowed to run for president.
He wrote, “There was never a zoning. Yar’Adua died, but the PDP never insisted on power remaining in the North.
“Jonathan could have governed for a total of 9 years if he defeated Buhari in 2015.
“OBJ (8) + GEJ (5) + TINUBU (4) from 1999 to 2027 = 17 years out of 28 = 11 years to the North. If Tinubu wins fair and square in 2027, so be it, and if opposition beats him black and blue, he should pls go back home, in peace.
“Never. Zoning is not in our Constitution and I believe every competent and qualified Nigerian should have a chance to run for the highest office.”
