The PDP in Anambra State has insisted that the ticket is open to all aspirants from any of the Senatorial zones in the state, with some persons from Anambra Central and Anambra having purchased the nomination form.

But while addressing the gathering, Ozigbo reiterated that zoning was a foregone conclusion from all quarters of Anambra State, and it was only wise for the party to fall in line with the dominant sentiment of the electorate.

Ozigbo, the immediate past President and Group CEO of Transcorp Plc, emphasized that competence and zoning are not mutually exclusive as there is an abundance of competent candidates within the Anambra South Senatorial Zone.

“When we speak of zoning, some people make it seem like there are no competent individuals from Anambra South. That’s far from the truth.

“What we should be looking for is a person who is not found wanting when it comes to competence and who comes from the zone that has been agreed to produce the next governor of our dear state.

“It is essential that we must speak with a united voice that the next governor of Anambra State must come from Anambra South Senatorial Zone.

“Let’s get our facts right – the candidate will be the governor of all of Anambra, but for the sake of equity and fairness, it is only proper that we select a candidate from Anambra South,” he said.

The respected business leader noted that major stakeholders, groups, and rival political parties have spoken in favour of zoning, noting that it is incumbent on the PDP to tow the prevailing line if it wants to be successful at the November polls.
