The Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it would not zone its governorship ticket to any region, asserting that all qualified aspirants will be given even eligibility to contest for the party’s governorship primaries. PDP Sectretary, Imo State, Chief George Eguh who made the party’s position known when one of the governorship aspirants , Senator Ifeanyi Ararume paid him a courtesy visit stated that zoning was anti-democracy and would not be allowed in the party.
He said all contestants for the governorship and other elective positions in the state for 2015 would “be taken to the field to test their popularity and strength.” “When the contestants go to the field and Imo PDP members select whoever they want to be their governorship candidate, we will now give him both the ticket and our total support.”
He emphasized on the need for unity in Imo PDP to avoid a repetition of the ugly scenario which made the governorship seat by-pass the party in 2007 when personal interests set “some individuals who saw themselves then as semi-gods” at cross purposes. He also warned that if “the self-inflicted injury and crisis of ego” currently troubling the party are not resolved ahead of the poll, the party’s fortune might be threatened. “PDP is suffering from self-inflicted injury and that injury must be addressed so that the party can move forward. “He added.
