By Dirisu Yakubu The sale of nomination forms for various National Working Committee offices of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, originally fixed for Monday, failed
The sale of nomination forms for various National Working Committee offices of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, originally fixed for Monday, failed to commence, owing to the inability of the South and Northern regions to conclude their micro zoning arrangements.
According to him, “Things are not going on smoothly particularly on which state in these zones to produce XYZ. The chairmanship position for instance is now a battle between the North Central and the North- West. Until an agreement is reached in the ongoing deliberations on which state to get what, it will be foolish to rush to obtain nomination form,” he said.
Former Katsina state governor, Ibrahim Shema was nominated alongside Makarfi last week by PDP stakeholders from the North-West zone. “They had a fruitful meeting last week even though they did not arrive at a conclusion. Tonight, we expect that leg of the negotiation to be completed ahead of the convention.
A member of the zoning committee who does not want his name in print told this medium that a meeting of Southern PDP Governors will hold today in Benin City, the Edo state capital.
