Peter Obi, former Anambra State Governor of and presidential aspirant, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has the final decision on zoning the presidential ticket to the South East.
Obi made this known on Friday after screening by the PDP Presidential Screening Committee, headed by former Senate President David Mark, at the party’s Presidential Campaign Headquarters, Legacy House in Abuja
Speaking further, Obi said he will respect the party’s decision on zoning on the matter, adding that he won’t be angry if the party doesn’t zone the presidential ticket to the South East.
He said: “The party has the final say. I can’t have a thought.
“I’m a member of a party. If the party says this is where they want the party to go, if you are a member of an organisation, you respect that organisation.
“And that is why I said whatever we do, the most critical thing is, what do we do to pull Nigeria out of poverty and create a future for the teeming unemployed youths of Nigeria.
“We must change our polity and change what other nations are doing, and that is building a better nation for their people.
“We can’t go on round and round things that are yesterday. Let’s think about tomorrow. How can a great nation like Nigeria not do well? Simple, change it from consumption to production.”
The former governor of Anambra stated that his chance of becoming the party’s flagbearer is in the hands of the delegates.
He said: “My chance is for the delegates to decide.
“I am not going to impose myself on them; it’s for the delegates to reflect on the nation and decide what do we do to guarantee a future for our young ones.
“Whatever the party does, for me, it is to create a future for the teeming unemployed Nigerian youths, and pull Nigeria out of hunger.”
