A Professor of Political Science at the Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Jideofor Adibe, has stated that in few months the decision of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South will be made public.

Naijaonpoint reports that Adibe made this known while responding to questions in an interview on ‘The Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television.

Adibe said the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, ought to be suspicious of the PDP’s decision.

He also urged Peter Obi to be cautious of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), opposition coalition.

He said, “I wouldn’t want to advise Peter Obi; he has his own advisors. At the end, he has to make his own decisions, but if I were him, I would be extremely suspicious.

“It’s up to him to know what his own political strategists are telling him and what these moves are, but I believe that once any announcement is made, they create scenarios.

“However, I believe that in the next couple of months, it will become clearer what informed the PDP’s decision to say that they are zoning this issue.”

While the PDP and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have already zoned their 2027 presidential tickets to the South, the ADC has yet to do so, but the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, from northern Nigeria, has shown interest in running for president on its platform.
