APC 2023: The north still trying to hold on to presidential ticket is tantamount to a third term agenda – Ali Ndume

Former Senate leader and lawmaker representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has said that it will be tantamount to a third term agenda if the APC zones the presidency to the North come 2023.

 

Ndume who is a chieftain of the ruling party said this when he spoke to newsmen in Abuja over the weekend.  He said zoning of the presidential slot to the North should not be encouraged.

 

In his words

 

“I am a founding member of APC. We agreed in principle then that the party will zone presidential ticket to the north. That was why Buhari, Atiku and others contested. Only Rochas Okorocha contested from the south. He knew he wasn’t going to win. So, that arrangement was there. For me, based on our agreement, the south should produce the next presidential candidate of APC. The north still trying to hold on to that is tantamount to a third term agenda. We should not encourage that.”
