Anambra 2021: You’re on your own on zoning, PDP tells Ezeife, others

THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Anambra State Wednesday disowned former governor of the state, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife and some prominent members of the party in the state who, at a meeting recently supported the zoning of the 2021 governorship position in the state to Anambra South senatorial zone.


At a meeting at the party’s secretariat in Awka, the leadership of the party in the state said Ezeife and those party members were on their own.

State chairman of the party, Chief Ndubuisi Nwobu said the party had long made its stand clear that it would not support the zoning of the governorship position to any part of the state as doing so would negate the constitutional right of those who seek to contest for the position.


He said: “At no time did the state leadership of the party deliberate on zoning in Anambra State. You are conversant with the clear mandate of the party that only the party in the state can say if there is zoning or not.

“We have members of Board of Trustees in Anambra; we have two senators, seven House of Representatives members and six members in the state House of Assembly. Even the overall leader of the party in the state, Mr Peter Obi and the former governorship candidate of the party, Mr. Oseloka Obaze and his deputy, Mrs. Chudi Onyemelukwe are all around and so it is not a decision a few people in the state will just meet and agree on, without the others.
