She made it clear that the party would not consider any presidential candidate from the North, describing the zoning arrangement as non-negotiable.
“We have one certain decision that we have taken and that is that we will certainly not field any aspirant from northern Nigeria. We have zoned the position to southern Nigeria,” she said.
Usman further warned that any attempt by a northern aspirant to seek the party’s presidential ticket would not be entertained, reinforcing the party’s stance ahead of the 2027 elections.
