FORMER Minister of Police Affairs, Major General David Jemibewon, has suggested what he said was a way out of the present zoning controversy in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) saying that the party should make a special case for President Goodluck Jonathan in the present circumstance, while retaining the zoning policy of the party.
He made the assertion at a press briefing in Abuja, on Monday, just as the Goodluck Nigeria Group (GNG) which wanted the President to contest the 2011 election, has written to the National Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, asking him to convene a special national convention of the party to adopt President Jonathan as the party’s candidate.
General Jemibewon, who is a member of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), observed that there were merits in the arguments for and against the zoning or power rotation formula which he pointed out was a PDP affair.
He threw the matter to the national leadership of the party reminding members that it was a party constitutional matter and the constitution of the party provided avenues for the amendment of any provision.
