2027: Zoning Manipulated to Favour APC – Dele Momodu

Momodu made this statement while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Sunrise Daily’, a programme on Channels Television on Monday.

A former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dele Momodu has claimed that the PDP was manipulated to zone the presidential ticket to the South.

According to him, it was manipulated to favour the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

He described it as unconstitutional and deliberately targeted at reducing competition against President Bola Tinubu.

Momodu made this statement while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Sunrise Daily’, a programme on Channels Television on Monday.

The former presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, further called zoning a tool of blackmail designed to weaken opposition parties.

“There is nothing in the Nigerian Constitution that stops anyone, whether you are a northerner or a southerner, from contesting.

“This so-called sentiment is a result and reward of blackmail from some people who want to deliberately keep all other parties down.

“Because they know that if you zone all other parties to the South in the presidency, none of them will be able to beat Asiwaju (President Bola Tinubu),” Momodu said.
