PDP: Igbo Leaders to Defect if Presidency is Not Zoned to South-East

Eminent Nigerians from the South-East geopolitical zone under the auspices of the Igbo Leadership Development Foundation has threatened to mobilise their people to dump the Peoples Democratic Party if it fails to zone the 2023 presidency to the region.

The group made this known in a statement read to journalists in Abuja on Thursday by its Director of Public Affairs, Dr. Law Mefor.

Others who signed the statement are Dr. Godwin Udibe (Chairman) and Onyebuchi Obeta (National Secretary).

The group maintained it would drag PDP to court of competent jurisdiction if it failed to stick to its constitution which provides for rotational presidency.
