2023: Group Says ‘Argument Of Senatorial District Zoning Of Delta Governorship Has Now Be Buried’

Aniagwu had on Monday, in a television show, alluded that the 2023 governorship race is open for all aspirants irrespective of ethnic or senatorial district affiliation.

He said; “There is no written agreement as to where you are to zone to, usually what happens is that the leaders come together and look at the sentiments and begin to think that there is the need for inclusive governance.

“Whether it is Delta Central or Delta South, Deltans are going to be the ones to decide but what is going to be the most paramount is the need to sustain the development of the state.

“There will be primaries where members of the party from across the three senatorial districts will gather and then elect who is going to be the flag-bearer”, Aniagwu was quoted to have said.

DIGAG, in a statement signed by Augustine Okporu, said that the commissioner has spoken the minds of Deltans, urging the State Chairman of the PDP, Chief Kingsley Esiso (Eqs) and the party’s Deputy National Organizing Secretary, Chief (Sen.) Ighoyota Amori to end the debate on zoning of Delta governorship.

They said that Esiso and Amori can now strive to be PDP helmsmen in the State rather than being champions of Delta Central Senatorial District interest.

According to the group, the statement credited to Aniagwu that there is  ‘no written agreement on zoning of governorship office in Delta State’, is an ‘undeniable reality which is staring us in the face’.

They argued that the zoning of the governorship can only be possible for subsequent elections after the PDP has picked its gubernatorial candidate for the 2023 general elections.
