The party’s National Chairman, Tanimu Turaki, made the disclosure on Tuesday in Abuja following a closed-door meeting with former Vice President Namadi Sambo.

Speaking to journalists after the three-hour meeting, Turaki emphasized that the party has decided to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South, but clarified that no candidate has been preselected.

“You see, as I’ve always said, the PDP has resolved to zone our presidential ticket to the southern part of this country. For now, we do not know who will emerge as our candidate, though we know who will not be in the race,” he said.

When asked specifically if the former president would contest, Turaki reiterated that the ticket is open to all eligible PDP members from the South.

“So it’s open to every PDP member living in southern Nigeria or of southern Nigerian descent,” he added.

The PDP chairman assured that the process of selecting the party’s flagbearer will be transparent, fair, and equitable, providing a level playing field for all aspirants.

“The process will be open, transparent, fair, and equitable, ensuring everyone has an equal chance,” Turaki stated.

He also highlighted that the ultimate decision on the party’s candidate will rest with Nigerians:

“Anyone who wants to contest can do so, and Nigerians will be the deciders of who becomes their candidate,” he said.

Turaki further revealed that former Vice President Namadi Sambo reaffirmed his support for the PDP ahead of the 2027 elections, describing the meeting as part of ongoing consultations to reposition the party for electoral success.
