Prince Kassim Afegbua, a former Edo State Commissioner for Information, has urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to jettison any thought of ceding the 2023 presidential position to the northern part of the country, as doing so would run contrary to democratic principles of fairness, balance and inclusion. He argued that the Southern geopolitical zones of Nigeria have eminently qualified Nigerians and are ready to take a shot at the number one job. He also urged the new management and members of the National Executive Committee of the PDP as well as the National Working Committee to speak with one voice in ensuring that the South is given what is due to it.
