The decision was contained in a communiqué issued after the State Executive Committee (SEC) meeting held in Abakaliki to deliberate on preparations for the party’s forthcoming primaries.
The communiqué was jointly signed by the state chairman, Onyemaechi Nwele, and the state secretary, Zaccheaus Ogbuefi.
According to the party, the zoning arrangement was adopted to ensure equity, justice, and fairness among the various zones in the state.
“The State Executive Committee, SEC, has officially approved the zoning of the governorship ticket of our great party, PDP, in Ebonyi State to Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone,” the communiqué stated.
