…Says not zoning presidency a tactical move
The ouster of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power and its replacement by the All Progressive Congress (APC) has worked in its favour, as Nigerians now know that they were better off with the main opposition party.
This is according to the national chairman-elect of the PDP, Professor Iyorchia Ayu, who also said that the PDP might have plunged the country into a dictatorship or become complacent of it had remained in government.
Fielding questions from newsmen for the first time since being elected at the weekend in Abuja, the incoming party boss said that his leadership will re-energize the PDP to take back power in 2023.
Ayu said the PDP’s delay in zoning its presidential ticket is a tactical move, assuring that the decision will be reached democratically when the time comes.
“When the time comes, we will subject ourselves to another democratic exercise and we will come out with a winning candidate. I believe Nigerians will be very happy with what we will offer them in the next couple of months”, he stated.
Ayu expressed confidence that many politicians will return to the PDP because, according to him, the party has started to her things right”.
