 there are fresh agitations over the zoning formula proposed or proposed by the governor of why he led people's democratic party zoning committee. Now reports are telling us that while the party members in the north are yet to agree on which zone should produce the next national chairman, the predominant opinion favors the north central. It was also gathered that party members ar y Cyfnod yw'r cyfnod o'r ddysgu yw'r rai o'r cyffredin iawn ar y cwmuned yma yw'r cyffredin iawn, ac mae'r cwmpod hynny yn cael ei wneudio fan y cyfnod gan Ysgrifedd Llywodraethol, o'r cyfnod gyfeirial, yn cyfnod ysgrifedd llawr cyfnod yw'r cyffredin iawn, sy'n gweithio'r cyfnod ar y cwmuned mae'r cyffredin iawn yn cwmuned yw'r cyffredin iawn yn y cwmuned a'r cyffredin iawn yn cefnod Ond ydych chi'n gwybod y cerddwydau o'r llwyddiad ar y gyfnod yma yn ei ddweud yn gweithio'r gweithio ac yn ymgylcheddau yma'r cyfrifeddau sy'n gweithio'n gyffredig. Felly, rwy'n meddwl am y cyfrifeddau. Mae'r cyfrifeddau sy'n gweithio ar y gweithio yma yn ei ddweud yn y cyfrifeddau. Ac mae'n meddwl am yma yn ei ddweud yma. Mae'n meddwl am y cyfrifeddau ac mae'n meddwl am y cyfrifeddau. but then, certain people in the north are saying that they want it to be thrown open so that anybody can decide to be the chairman of the party. But again, we also understand that within the party manifesto, there are rules. If a person from a particular zone is the party chairman, then of course automatically the presidential tickets can not also come from a similar zone. Am I right? Maen nhw'n gweithio? Yes, go ahead, go ahead. Yes, what you see playing out initially when the section of the PPP pushed to remove the conduct is over the presidential elections in 2023, a section of the party desires of shifting the term hardship to the not on purpose so that they could present a candidate from the party. While that push was going on, knowing that the condos would not bow out easily, it was very important for them to ensure that whether the condos leaves or not, they then have to do it again and resolve the party's term hardship to the not. Again, against the currency of what is going on within the country, the PPP again resolved the term hardship back from the south to the north. After doing that, we now have, we thought is all set to, but until when the not on government met with their emir, and took a decision that the south will not necessarily have the ticket, and also they would have a field in not on candidate. We believe that the majority of the board that will be cast in the party will be in favor of the candidate from the north. Of course, this is not acceptable to the other party within the PPP, so invariably many persons will be over that. So given the situation currently, what they are trying to do is to figure out how to manage the price by throwing up the tickets open, either for the chairmanty or the presidential candidate, hoping that at the end of the day the north will favor a south candidate to emerge as a candidate in order to ensure that a not on a margin are the candidates of the PPP. You and I know who the not on a E, but there is a bigger problem, which is the cohesion and the unified position of the south and government, if they should insist that a sub-economy comes from the south, then we are heading for a new job right now. The same thing is played itself out in a way in the 80s, where some of the governors are already saying, particularly from the north, that it is not yet given that a south candidate will emerge as a candidate. So what is playing out in PPP at a higher level is more intense than the prices within the UPP. Obviously, they have not been able to manage that. They have already created a factual life party by ensuring that two shaman ship candidates are floating somewhere, hoping that the cost will eventually be covered. For PPPs as it may, what is clear is that it is zoning or whoever will emerge as a presidential candidate, not that it is in convention. And those who are insisting that it has to come from the south are very active within the party. They have asked some of the governors, including Wiki, saying that they don't even know how to campaign for a north candidate to sell a north candidate after a boy to their own voters. And don't forget, PPP has a zoning formula. They've always been with each other, so it will be very strange if they depart from that. Well, when you look at the currency of thinking within the country and the sharp division within the country, what would have expected that the north hand government will settle for a far-time presidential candidate? Well, it remains to be seen whichever way it should go. I spoke with the Deputy National Publicities Secretary for the PDP last week, and he did say that the governors, the southern governors, do not necessarily have a right to dictate to the party where they would want to zone the presidential ticket to. That, of course, that naturally they have the rights of say, but they do not necessarily or cannot, in fact, if I'm quoting him directly, twist, untwist the party to change things in their favor. But you're saying that these people are very influential as to their stance and what they're asking for. But he, on the other hand, is saying that these governors do not have that kind of right. Again, he pointed to the fact that these southern governors were not only from the PDP, but they were also from the APC. So for him, he said, it was just the mere sentiments that they were expressing. But you're saying that this is a very good stand and it might have an effect of sorts on the party's decision later on. Well, whether the southern governors have a right to demand or not, whether the northern governors are right to say that well, they need to lobby not to demand that the south should present the next presidential candidate. The fact of the matter is, what's on the ground in the country is that the country is so badly designed there along the north and south lines, which is the fourth fourth line. You also have a second fourth line, which is middle belt north north north north north north. So the northern governors cannot assume that when it comes to voting or hitting candidates, they are bound to have them in the pipeline. I doubt that. I cannot see how autumn, given the position he has made very clear, would go along with the voting for the northern presidential candidate. As a matter of fact, middle belt is also mostly not the waters by demanding that the middle belt has the right to present the presidential candidate. But they are considering that to the south, that after the south, they should be the next one to go. So I think some of the northern governors are also very apprehensive. Even what has happened under Boris Johnson, where ethnic division became so prominent to the extent that people are now agitating for suppression. So they are also anxious about what will be the fate of the country and their region in the contentious way. Don't forget, the issue of the VAT is also their understanding, which in any case will make fiscal federalising a reality. And because of that, in many states where they are not thought, they will not be able to pay their bills. So given that situation, they would rather have a strong way, they have a presidential candidate from the north who is able to act as an leverage that will enable them to maintain the system or negotiate a new VAT theory, which cannot be submitted to the Supreme Court as a consent judgment. So these are the issues at play currently. And in closing, because we're almost out of time, there are certain people whose names have been thrown up in the midst of these agitations within the PDP. The likes of the former Senate President, David Mark, Senator Tunde Weha, former governors of Kogi State, Idris Wada, Ibrahim Idris, and of course, Professor Jerry Ganna and former Niger State governor Babangkida Aliyu. And as you see, that list probably teals to a certain part of the country. But from the analysis that you've given, which person, I mean, we're not speaking for the PDP, but from an outsider's view, who's more viable or more of a person that would be picked, a better pick for that chairmanship position? For the chairmanship position. Yes. Well, this is very clear. There are so many, not others, also ancient for the chairmanship position, knowing that it will automatically mean the presidential candidate will be zoned to the south. Some of them are designed to reality. They know that, look, when the issues are put on the table, eventually the moral way and the argument based on the PDP constitution will ensure that the presidential candidate comes from the south. So there are also two things along that line for that very position. The position of the chairman is so powerful. He's the one to style the papers and forward the candidates, you know, to mine it. And they're fully aware of that. So given that situation, they're likely going to see the interpretation of the battle on two fronts. One, the agitation, you know, to ensure that in Osana or in South Osana, you know, the terms of the presidential candidates is the one part. For the chairmanship also is not good to the left. Just like that. There will be other concerning parties that will come out from the north. If you notice so many people in the south, things not to be interested in the chairmanship of PDP. It's only one format of law that brings out, you know, as a possible candidate. For so far, he has not indicated any interest in it. And therefore, one can safely conclude that the decision to pick the chairmanship for PDP would really fall on the north. I cannot see anything happening on that. Because when it comes to voting, we are likely going to have the southern delegates actually voting for the candidates from the north and the German authorities. So it's a kind of eye-wire politics which they are hopefully in. Many of the key actors, like Obrehar, like Edith Bach, they are also from the middle class. They are not happy about what is going on, but they have not said anything over the years, you know, about the division, the problem between the middle class and the corner. So I guess we're going to keep our fingers crossed to see what happens in the coming days. Beg yw'r pattyn? I guess we'll keep our fingers crossed to see what happens in the coming days. Absolutely. So it just begins to be saying, where to keep all folding up things to go wrong. Okay. Well, I want to say thank you. Be able to show me as a political analyst. Thank you so much for speaking with us. We appreciate it. Thank you. I want to say thank you to everyone who's been a part of the conversation. We will take a quick breakdown to hear what Nigerians believe. The region where Nigerians think the party ticket should be zoned to, of course, we're talking about the presidential ticket here. When we come back, I'll be saying my goodbytes. Right now to me I have no any choice, but I need a good person to be lead by us. Honestly, sincerely speaking, as a good citizen of this country, I think the next presidential come from the south. Although I'm from west, you understand. But I think the south deserve to lead us. We don't know what will happen. So I think we should give them a chance. Let's come from the south, because the Nordiners have dominated Nigeria for a while. And we are not seeing the impact of them. So I don't want to, let's try another way and see how it goes. It doesn't matter where the president actually comes from, but what matters is what is being done in the country. The provisions, the empowerment and the provision of jobs for the youth and everything. So whether you're from the north or south of the east, it doesn't matter as long as you provide what needs to be done in the country. What matters is the person that will take Nigeria to a greater level. No matter the zone it comes from, whether from the north, south, east. So what is the matter? Another thing is we are tired of this old man. We need youth. It's not as south as it's supposed to be. Maybe that's how it can be Igbo, it can be Yoruba, but it's supposed to be south. Now this turn around, 2023, it's supposed to be south. To me, I prefer from the south because the power has been given to them. I think for the past eight years or there about, Nigeria have not really achieved anything. So we want the president that will know that, let me fight for Nigerians and this is what Nigerians are passing through. For example, the sake of the kidnappers and all, the president is there and he's from the north. He has not done anything because I need this. So that's the reason why I said the president should come from the south. Well that's the show for tonight. Let's keep our fingers crossed and see how events unfold within our major political parties as we look to 2023. I am Mary Annacole. Have a good evening.
