PDP Will Be Roundly Defeated If Zoning Is Jettisoned – Bode George

*Says Zoning Was Political Spinal Chord of PDP for 16 Years
Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olabode George, has said that removing zoning would amount to removing the spinal chord of the party.
He said the PDP would be roundly defeated should the party throw away zoning.
George said when you remove the spinal chord of a human being, you finally decapitate him.
He said zoning, as was employed, was used by the PDP to ensure that all six geo-political zones were carried along in the scheme of things.
Speaking on an Arise TV on Tuesday, George asked if General Muhammadu Buhari is from Agege in Lagos or Enugu or Anambra? “He is from Katsina in the North,” George said.
He said he disagreed with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who is championing that zoning does not matter at the moment.
He said the presidency should just be zoned to the South saying the South would decide who gets the ticket.
“We don’t micro-zone. We zone to the South or to the North,” he said
He said the national convention of the PDP would turn out to be a confusion with many aspirants refusing to drop their ambitions.
He reminded PDP chieftains that Nigerians are watching the party to see if they can trust it with leadership responsibilities.
He said the party must manage its affairs properly before Nigerians can trust it with governance.
