An aspirant for national secretary of
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Umar Tsauri, has said that the party would
regain power in Kastina in 2019 general elections.
Tsauri expressed the optimism
in an interview with newsmen in Abuja shortly after submitting his nomination
form for the race, at the party’s National Secretariat.
He said that PDP had done
what was required to win the election in Katsina.
“We don’t need to campaign
for that; PDP has done what is supposed to be done by any other political party
rightly.
“Whether the president is
from Kastina State or not, PDP is going to capture the state in 2019 general
election,” he said.
On micro-zoning of positions,
Tsauri said that as a party that believed in democracy, PDP should allow any
interested candidate to test his or her popularity at the Dec. 9 convention.
“PDP is a democratic party.
So, if a position is zoned to a place, you can contest it. If there is
consensus, we go for it; if there is no consensus, we go to the field.
“The position of National
Secretary has been zoned to my zone and I feel I am eligible to contest.
“I feel that I can contribute
my quota towards eliminating the challenges facing the party.
“I feel that if I come on
board, I will make sure that PDP is brought in a balanced position just like
before, and we will reclaim our mandate from the All Progressive Congress
(APC),” he said.
