The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it would not zone the party’s ticket for the 2021 governorship election in Anambra State.

Some politicians have been clamouring for zoning of the ticket to a particular region of the state ahead of the 2021 governorship poll.

Ondo guber: We won’t take PDP for granted, says Sanwo-Olu

But addressing a press conference in Abuja on Saturday, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodinyan, said the party had taken a decision on the issue, and there was no going back.

According to him, the NWC of the party has adopted all resolutions of the South East Zonal Working Committee meeting of the party on July 3, 2020, in Enugu, thereby burying the issue of zoning in Anambra PDP.

Part of the July 3, 202 resolution says: “While reiterating that the PDP is not zoning the governorship, we wish to commend all the gubernatorial aspirants of our party in Anambra State for their mature politicking.

“We bring them the assurances of our national chairman of a level playing field and the conduct of most transparent primaries.”

Ologbondiyan who was accompanied by the South East Zonal chairman of the party,  Austin Umahi, said the party also recognised Sir Ndubisi Nwobu as the duly elected and legally recognised chairman of PDP in the state and called on INEC,  security agencies among others to take note.
