Based on the decision, all positions in the party currently occupied by people from the South will go to the North and those occupied by people from the North will go to the South.
The PDP NEC also confirmed that the party’s national convention will hold on October 30 and 31.
Meanwhile, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who was also present at the meeting said the party has the right to determine who represents them or not, just as citizens reserve the right to decide who to vote for. He said where a President comes from has neither been the problem nor the solution to Nigeria’s problems.
“Where the president comes from has never been the problem of Nigeria, and I can cite examples; neither will it be the solution. There is no such thing as a president from Southern Nigeria or a president from Northern Nigeria.
There is only one president from Nigeria, for Nigeria, by Nigerians” Atiku said.
