The presendential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the 2019 general elections, Kingsley Moghalu, says he warned the Igbo people of South-East Nigeria that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) would not zone its candidate for Presidency to the zone in 2023.
Moghalu’s statement comes on the heels of recent permutations that the major opposition party will zone the presidential ticket to the North in order to clinch the exalted office lost in the 2015 election.
But the YPP ex-presidential candidate said there was no oita of truth in the promise by PDP in 2019 that the South-East will get the ticket, describing the promise as 419.
“As a presidential candidate in 2019 I was criticized by short-sighted people for trying to “siphon” votes from
@OfficialPDPNig in the Southeast, that the party would zone the presidency to Ndigbo in 2023. I told Ndigbo this was political 419 and they should wake me up in 2023, ” the former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, tweeted on Thursday.
