PDP retains zoning formula in Delta
The PDP chairman in Delta State, Peter Nwoboshi, said power rotation still subsists in the state.
According to him, the system is in line with the
party’s zoning policy. He said the only way peace could be sustained in
the polity at all levels of governance was the retention of zoning
formula.
Mr Nwoboshi told journalists in Asaba that the
principle was integral to an all-inclusive government, “I have been a
protagonist of zoning because I know that it is the only way we can
have peace in the country.”
The PDP chairman said the national body was
irrevocably committed to zoning as affirmed by the national chairman,
Ezekwesili Nwodo, at a recent National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.
“Nwodo said that power should rotate between north
and south at the national level, among the three senatorial districts
in the state, and among the communities for council elections.
“So, in Delta, we will abide by the party’s
resolution and ensure that for now, power remains in the southern
district,” he added.
