After snagging alleged NEF endorsement, Bala says OK if PDP zones ticket to south
A presidential aspirant on the platform of the PDP Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State says he will abide by the party’s decision on zoning its presidential ticket.
Addressing newsmen after meeting with Niger PDP delegates in Minna on Monday, Mohammed said political offices zoning is in the party’s Constitution.
Bala, who, along with former Sen. President Bukola Saraki, already got the Northern Elders Forum’s endorsement, said it was designed to ensure equity and justice and to devolve power between the federating entities.
“We believe in the supremacy of the party and zoning can only reinforce us if done by the party. We will accept wherever it is zoned to.
“I don’t have a problem with zoning and I don’t see it as a problem.
“It’s a formula brought to bring devolution of power between the federating entities. It is the only way and means to ensure equity and justice,’’ he said.
Mohammed said his visit to Niger was to sell his candidature to party elders and to Nigerians, stressing that he would abide by whatever decision the party came up with.
The south hs been agitating for the PDP to swing the scale south in 2023, but the party has yet to come up with a position, leaving the contest open for now.
