"The position can't be sub-zoned to a specific zone in the south since that will disappoint different hopefuls. We, as state administrators, can't be gathering to any miniaturized scale zoning. "The gathering's choice at the Port Harcourt Convention is last and authoritative on all.

Nobody has the privilege to change or mess with it. "The gathering's choice is that all parts of the south ought to be given the chance to exhibit their hopefuls so delegates can pick the best material for the position of National Chairman.

"We remain by that position and have set out to dismiss any sub-zoning to a specific region," Hyat expressed. While encouraging those looking for the gathering positions to "comprehend that power originates from God," the discussion charged those whose aspiration may endure mishap to be set up to acknowledge whoever God appoints to lead the PDP.

"The young people you are discussing, who are they and who knows them? How could individuals of substance assemble to talk and some obscure people would counter them," he asked, even as he cautioned on the perils of controlling the framework for a favored competitor. While taking note of that he has never known about the name, Danni Kutigi (representative of the young gathering), Gabam encouraged the initiative of the gathering to lead a tradition without controls. "In the event that the procedure is controlled, the PDP will kick the bucket a characteristic passing. The PDP needs another picture, another name, not some person that can be hurled around by his barbarities and past records," he included.
