The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will, Wednesday meet to decide on the report of its 37-man committee headed by Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State.
Sources say the committee had recommended that the party should throw open the presidential ticket of the party to all interested party members.
The Wednesday’s meeting was confirmed by the National Secretary of PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
Despite the clamour for the presidency to be zoned to the South, many Northerners have indicated interest in contesting for the position. Amongst those Northerners include, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, the current Governor of Sokoto state, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal and Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed.
Meanwhile, the governors of the party in the South had in April, insisted that the presidential ticket of the party must be zoned to the South.
