PDP youths give South-South governors January ultimatum to declare for presidency

Governors of the South-South region have been given an ultimatum to declare their interest in the 2023 presidency or lose the support of the party’s youths to candidates of Northern interest.

Youth of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under the aegis of South-South Youth Vanguard said 2023 was fast approaching hence their call.

National Chairman of the group, James Efe Akpofure, applauded the South-East leaders for declaring their support for Anyim Pius Anyim, who has indicated interest to contest for the position of president in the 2023 presidential election.

They noted that while there have been agitations for the position to be zoned to the south, politicians from the region have not indicated interests, warning that this is the time to come out as activities towards the election would soon kick off.

“We are making our position known now because very soon we will take some steps that may not be palatable to some of these our politicians from the region.

“We have given them time enough. From now till the ending of this month is long enough for any serious politician to make his interest known.

“If they don’t declare between now and ending of this month, we will have no other option than to shift our loyalty to any candidate from the North. A stitch in time saves nine.”
