A former governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, on Sunday said he decided to back the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, because the Peoples Democratic Party violated its constitution by denying the south the right to produce the next President.
The former governor stated that the PDP’s constitution specified that key political offices be rotated between the North and the South to ensure equity, justice, and fairness.
In a statement released to journalists in Abuja on Sunday, Nnamani said, “Conscious of the need to share and rotate key political offices among the diverse people of our country, the PDP constitution clearly stated that it shall adhere at all times to the policy of the rotation and zoning of the party and public elective offices in pursuance of the principles of equity, justice, and fairness.
“Even when the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, made a firm commitment to step down should a Northerner emerge as the presidential candidate for the 2023 election, the leadership jettisoned the constitutional provision and turned the logic upside down.”
