The former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has disagreed with alledged plan to zone the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s presidential ticket to the south in the coming 2023 election.
Speaking during an interview with BBC Hausa service today, the chieftain of the main opposition Party said it would not be acceptable if the rumour turns out to be true.
This is coming as speculations are high that due to the party’s decision to zone its national Chairmanship ticket to Northern region, its presidential ticket would be zoned to the south.
While reacting to the development, Lamido said: “What brings this issue is because the southern PDP and APC Governors agreed that president most comes from the Southern part of the country.
