Lere Olayinka, the spokesperson of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) decision to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South came at a late hour.
While featuring as a guest on Channels Television on Wednesday, Olayinka stated that if the PDP had listened to Wike and others before the 2023 election, the party would not be in its present state.
According to Olayinka, the zoning decision is too late because the PDP could have done the right thing three years ago.

“It is too late because we had the chance of doing the right thing three years ago that we did not do.
“For instance, if we had agreed with him (Wike), probably the party wouldn’t be where it is today. Head is off already, we are crying. What we should have done three years ago, we did not do.
“The second thing that is too late is that you’re now saying the president should come from the South, but the issue is that another party that is in power has its candidate too from the same South, and that candidate would have spent four years in office and will have four years more to spend.
“Now you’re presenting your (Southern) candidate to the North, will that North agree with a candidate that will be starting afresh?
“A candidate that would probably want to go for second term if he wins in 2031? Or a candidate that only has four years to spend?”
