Meanwhile, the leader of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Professor Ango Abdullahi, has urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to jettison the discussion on zoning the presidency to a particular region.
Abdullahi made this known on Thursday while speaking with the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) leadership who paid him a courtesy visit at his residence in Zarai, Kaduna State, Naija News reports.
The elder statesman advised the PDP and other political parties toiling with the issue of zoning or power shift to forget the move and look for competent candidates.
Abdullahi pointed out that presidential candidates should be allowed to contest the election on the merit of their competence and not where they come from, adding that the issue of zoning or power shift is dead on arrival.
The NEF leader disclosed that over 11 presidential aspirants who cut across various political parties have consulted him regarding their presidential ambitions.
“The issue of zoning or power shift is dead and buried, candidates should be allowed to contest election based on the merit of their competence and not where they come from, hence the Northern elders’ forum thinks that the presidential position should be left open for standard norms of the democratic process,” he said.
