South-East presidential aspirants on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have pledged to work together towards ensuring that the zone produces the party’s presidential flagbearer in 2023.
They said their position on a South-East presidency aligns with the PDP constitution which is disposed to zoning of elective offices.

The aspirants arrived at the decision after a two-hour meeting in Abuja.
The aspirants were former Senate President and Secretary to government of the federation, Anyim Pius Anyim; former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi; business mogul, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa; and United States-based medical doctor, Dr Nwachukwu Anakwenze.
Anyim who briefed journalists after the meeting of the aspirants, said it was time for other zones to reciprocate support for the South-East to emerge president as it had done to them in the past.

Reading the resolution, Anyim said, “We have agreed to work together as a team.
“We will work together to ensure that a South-easterner emerges as PDP flagbearer. But we are taking this position in the interest of national unity, in the interest of PDP.
“And in fact in line with the PDP constitution. We believe that the PDP constitution favours what we are doing and we have to boldly step out with this decision,” Anyim stated.
