Ondo guber: No decision on zoning yet, there’ll be level playing field, says PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is yet to decide on the zoning of its ticket for the Ondo governorship election.

In a statement on Thursday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesperson, said the national working committee (NWC) of the party has assured that the nomination process of the candidate would be all-inclusive.

“The NWC clarifies that the Party has not zoned its ticket for the November 16, 2024 Governorship election in Ondo State to any part or area of the State,” the statement reads.

“The NWC assures all intending Governorship aspirants and all members of the Party in Ondo State of a level playing ground in all Party nomination processes and activities leading to the November 16, 2024 Governorship election in accordance with the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017), the Electoral Act, 2022 and the Party Guideline for the Election.”

Ologunagba said there will be a “special meeting” of leaders, including Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo; Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun; and members of the NWC to further “ensure reconciliation and unity among party stakeholders in the state.

He added that all stakeholders should be “consistent in display of fidelity to the Party and work together” for the interest of the PDP in the state.
