Nwodo stated this
yesterday, in Abuja, shortly after Fayose’s formal declaration of intent to
contest for the party’s ticket in 2019.
The member of the Board of
Trustees (BoT) of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Okwesilieze Nwodo, has
said Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, cannot contest in the party’s
primary poll for the 2019 presidential election.
The party chieftain
stressed that PDP’s ideology forbade Fayose and other members from the South
from contesting in the presidential race in 2019.
His words: “Fayose cannot
run and I will tell you my reason. Now, we did not only zone the presidency to
the North, we have re-emphasised at every opportunity we had that the zoning
will take place.
“So, the party will not
collect Expression of Interest money from anybody else who is not from the
North and will not issue him a nomination form to contest. No, we will not do
that.’’
