Aspirant rejects North Central’s zoning

An aspirant for the post of national youth leader in Saturday’s PDP special national convention, Alhaji Mohammed Mariam Alhassan, has disagreed with the position of the North Central executive committee of the party to retain the zoning principle it adopted at the 2012 convention.

Alhassan in a letter addressed to the PDP national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, accused the North Central executive committee of perpetrating “constitutional aberration against the principles of the party” by taking that decision.
PDP executive committee for the North Central zone directed its zonal delegates to vote in line with the zoning arrangement adopted in the 2012 convention and directed delegates to vote for persons endorsed by the state which got the slot.
Alhassan  explained that 2012 national convention of the party which produced the national working committee members has been faulted by INEC because of the unconstitutional nature of the zoning explaining that he was schemed out in the process.
