*As party says not under pressure on same

Ahead of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says is not under pressure to zone or throw its presidential ticket open.

The party also stated that the overall interest of Nigeria would guide the position it would take on the sensitive issue in the days ahead.

In an interview with our correspondent, National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, said having received the report of the 37-man committee on zoning, the National Working Committee, NWC, would transmit same to NEC for thorough study and adoption of a position.

According to him, the PDP is too big to bow to the pressure from an individual or group.

He said as a party founded on democratic principles, the wishes of the people would guide its stand on the matter.

He said: “The PDP is not under any form of pressure at all as far as the matter of zoning is concerned. We are a party founded on democratic norms and values. Do not forget that we are a party that follows procedures in all we do.
