A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oladimeji Fabiyi, faulted the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) over its recent decision to zone the 2027 presidential ticket to the South.
Papers News reports that Fabiyi, a close ally of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, in an interview with Trust TV News, claimed that the zoning resolution was driven by the personal ambitions of some individuals rather than the broader interests of the party.
He said, “That zoning arrangement was not in the spirit of the PDP’s culture. It was engineered by allies of Wike who are pursuing selfish interests, not what is best for the party.”
