Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are currently holding a closed-door meeting at the Zamfara State Government House in Gusau. While the exact agenda of the gathering has not been officially disclosed, sources suggest it may relate to ongoing leadership challenges within the party.

The meeting comes ahead of the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) session, scheduled for Monday. A key issue expected to dominate discussions is the zoning of the 2027 presidential ticket. Three main options are under consideration: assigning the ticket to the South, leaving it open for any region, or allocating it to the North.

Insiders indicate that influential party members are leaning toward zoning the ticket to the South, citing that the region still has four years remaining before it is due to produce the party’s presidential candidate.

Further updates from the meeting are expected in the coming days.
