Osita Chidoka, a former Aviation Minister and leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has disclosed why his party has failed to zone its presidential ticket to the Southeast.
The PDP stalwart said on Channels Television’s Politics Today that zoning the presidency to any region is an issue for him.
According to the former minister, he personally wants the main opposition party’s candidate to be a southerner from the country’s eastern region.
Chidoka, on the other hand, argued that the PDP leadership must choose between fielding a candidate who they believe can win the 2023 election or surrendering to zoning to the south, which may result in the race being lost.
He said: “PDP is in a kind of dilemma. Do we struggle to win power first or continue our zoning as we have done or do we continue with the zoning even if that candidate may or may not win the election?
“First of all, the Igbo people will have to bring out a candidate that can convince Nigerians because Nigerians are not a party to this internal party zoning structures.”
He went on to say that if the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) both fielded a candidate from the south-east, Nigerians would be left to vote for the best candidate.
However, Chidoka stated that Nigerians have reached a point when they will put their ethnic identities aside and vote for trustworthy leaders based on the national interest.

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
