PDP Lost 2023 Poll For Failing To Zone Presidential Ticket To South — Gov Mohammed

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has attributed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s loss in the 2023 presidential election to the party’s failure to zone the ticket to southern Nigeria.

The governor spoke on Thursday when he was featured as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, days after the party zoned its presidential ticket to the southern region of the country for the 2027 elections.

“Life is always a learning process. When we did it [throwing the ticket open] in 2023, it was not a pleasant experience, and that was why we lost, and I discovered to my surprise that the presidency is a consensus phenomenon. You cannot impose yourself on anybody or any group,” the governor, who is the chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, said.

In the lead-up to that election, the PDP threw the ticket open with ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, flying the party’s flag in a poll won by Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
