The
Peoples Democratic Party has told Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State not to
waste his resources on his presidential ambition, saying the party’s candidate
for the 2019 election will come from the North.
The
party said all its members were aware of the zoning formula it adopted for both
its presidential ticket and the position of the national chairman.
Fayose
had sent letters to some leaders of the party to inform them about his decision
to run for the Presidency on the platform of the PDP.
The
event, according to a copy of the letter sent to Punch correspondent, will hold
in Abuja on Thursday.
A
source close to Jibrin, however, said the governor was reminded of the party’s
zoning formula, to which Fayose was said to have responded that he was
constitutionally qualified to run.
Sources
at the party national headquarters told Punch correspondent that Fayose could be
working to deny the South-West the opportunity of producing the party’s
national chairman.
