The newly registered Action Democratic Party, ADP, has started wooing the North and the South-East by zoning its presidential and vice presidential tickets to the two zones.
South-South zonal coordinator of the party and former Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Rowland Owie, said the party had concluded plans to cede its 2019 presidential ticket to the North and vice-presidential ticket to the South-East.
Owie, who spoke in an interview said: ‘’For 2019, we have zoned our presidential candidate to the North and our vice presidential slot to the South-East because where there is no justice, there can be no peace. In 1987, it was to be the turn of the South-East to produce the president after Shehu Shagari, but it was aborted. The south-easterners have been the bedrock of development of this country, so their rights must be given to them. After the North has finished its slot and presidency returned to the South, it will go to the South-East.
‘’You cannot continue to deceive the Igbo. So, the truth is that we now know those who destroyed PDP, we now know those who destroyed ACN that is now APC. Certainly, even though the nation’s Constitution says that nobody can stop anybody from entering a political party, we know those to stop; so the issue of hijacking will not come up.”
