Chief Ebenezer Babatope, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has warned the party to allow fairness, equity, and credibility to prevail at the presidential primary or else risk losing in 2023.

Babatope in a chat with newsmen said:PDP,our great party must get it right at the presidential primary. We must ensure that the process is fair and credible so that we can have the best man as a candidate.

In order to give Nigerians a better offer in 2023,we should do things the right way from the primary so as to stand a chance of defeating the All Progressives Congress (APC).

But if we fail to allow equity, fairness and credibility to prevail at the presidential primary, I’m afraid we risk losing in 2023.

He said that he would not advocate that PDP should zone the presidency to the North or South because zoning is an albatross to development, saying competence and capacity to deliver should determine the next president.

Nigeria is facing so many challenges right now, and it is not going to be an easy job for whoever emerges as the next president.

So in 2023, we need a unifier; we need someone who can solve problems; we need a president brimming with ideas to surmount our challenges,” he said.
