A founder member of the All Progressive Congress, Mr Osita Okechukwu, has told Nigerians to hold the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) responsible if the 2023 presidency is not zoned to the South.

According to Okechukwu, the APC has consistently watched the desperate attempts by the PDP to prey on President Muhammadu Buhari’s twelve million votes with keen interest.

He stressed that the APC is ready to fine-tune its strategies ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Okechukwu stated this in reaction to varying degrees of condemnation the APC received from PANDEF, Ohanaeze, Middle Belt Forum and Afenifere, over its indecision to zone the 2023 presidency to the South.

The Director-General (DG) of Voice of Nigeria attributed the ruling party’s indecision to the ploy by the PDP to break into it.

Okechukwu was quoted by NAN as saying: “Although one isn’t holding the brief for our distinguished national Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, one’s little understanding is that the leadership of our great party, is watching closely the desperation and antics of our elder sister political party, the PDP.

“They want to capture power, by all means, indeed using Machiavellian tactics. We all know that PDP is famished, thirsty and desperate to win the Presidency in 2023. They loathe the loss of their slogan ‘Share the Money’ through their absence from power at the centre for seven going to eight years.

“PDP,” he said, “is aware that President Buhari will not be on the ballot in 2023, therefore, for them, there is a void to fill. They must have reasoned that the Buhari’s Vote Bank would be up for grabs if they go north.

“To be frank, my take on the matter is that the swap option is still open because some of us from the South are still arguing that we have dormant votes, especially Igbo votes which will augment APC members’ votes from the north.

“However, if at the end of the day the zoning fails, we should blame PDP’s desperation, because we’ve been advocating a repeat of the Chiefs Obasanjo/Falae; Yaradua/Buhari and Buhari/Atiku models of 1999, 2007 and 2019 models.”
