*Former vice president commences consultationsA committee set up by the governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party to reposition the party ahead of the 2023 presidential election and the party’s November/December 2021 national convention, will also review the earlier report on the zoning of the presidency by the main opposition party, THISDAY’s investigation has revealed.
The Oyo State governor wrote on his verified Twitter handle released by the PDP Publicity Directorate thus, “PDP Governors’ Forum Committee on Party Repositioning- Earlier today, we met with my brother, @GovernorAUF of Adamawa State. As members of the @OfficialPDPNig Governors’ Forum Committee on Party Repositioning, we are working to re-establish our great party as the best alternative for Nigerians in 2023.
The source close to the governors told THISDAY that the Makinde-led committee is to study the Mohammed-led committee’s report and make its recommendations to the PDP governors very soon. Another source of concern to the PDP governors, it was learned, was the comment by the Governor of Benue State, Ortom who has thrown his weight behind the clamour for a southern president.
One of the PDP governors told THISDAY in confidence that the implication of what the Benue State governor said is that the party is divided on the issue of the zoning of the 2023 presidency.
