PDP Heads To Destruction By Abandoning Article 72  (c) On Zoning –Presidential Aspirant

A Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Orefo Nnamdi Onochie, has said that the party is heading to self destruction by abandoning article 72 (c) of the party’s constitution which has to do with zoning.

In a statement today, April 19, Onochie said that the abandonment of the artcle of PDP constitution by the national leadership, which provided zoning and rotation of positions and offices in the party, especially the presidential ticket among the geopolitical zones of the country, will kill the party.

According to him, a few elites within the PDP have hijacked and dominated the party and are determined to destroy it and mangle the destiny of Nigeria if their personal political ambitions and interests are not accepted.

He regretted that despite several statements issued to the national leadership of the PDP and also stringent efforts made by his co-aspirants to forestall the jettisoning of the Article 7.2(c) as contained in the party’s constitution, the party defiled owned rules.

“This situation imperils the party and Nigeria. It is in the light of that situation that I have withdrawn my membership of the party.”

The presidential hopeful said that he will at a later date inform Nigerians of the political party he chooses to sustain his presidential ambition, after dumping the PDP.

Onochie assured all Nigerians and his ardent supporters that his overriding interest is the preservation of Nigeria’s national ethos, unity and territorial integrity.
