A former Kogi State Lawmaker and Treasurer of the Peoples Democratic Party in the State, Hon. Alfred Bello, says the Party has no power to rotate since it is not holding unto power in the Centre.
Hon. Alfred Bello was a one time Member of the Kogi State House of Assembly, spoke against the background of people’s opinion asking the PDP to zone its Presidency, postulated that since the party is not holding power, asking it to rotate the Presidency becomes laughable.
He said the ruling APC presently has a sitting President from the North, says it behoves on the party to rotate the seat to the South, postulated that for the PDP it would pick its candidate from a position it thinks it is favourable for it to win election.
Hon. Alfred Bello made the disclosure as his personal opinion in a statement, said ” It is only a party that is in power that can rotate power. We’re not in power so what do we rotate.
“APC can rotate power by zoning their Presidential seat to the South because it’s very obvious that a northerner is the current president in their party.
” But PDP will pick her Presidential candidate from any zone in the country that can make us win election.
” So PDP are not 1 duty bound to zone to the South. Infact you don’t give what you don’t have”, insisting that when the time comes the PDP will pick her candidate from a suitable zone that would enable the Party win election.
