Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State said on Tuesday that in the next one week, he would announce whom the party had picked as its governorship candidate for the 2015 election.
The governor made this known when Peoples Democratic Party stakeholders paid him Sallah homage at his residence in Minna, the state capital.
According to Mr. Aliyu, already, eight persons had approached him officially to intimate him with their intention to succeed him.
He advised that the zoning formula in the state should be upheld by the PDP and not be altered midway, even as he hoped the best candidate to succeed him would emerge.
“The time has come to tell the home truth without hiding anything any longer.
“We will plead with the PDP members we have offended in the course of our governance”, he added.
The Vice chairman of PDP in zone B, Alhaji Mamman Gambo, said despite the anti-party politics exhibited by their party members during the last senatorial election, the PDP emerged victorious.
He commended Gov. Aliyu for the laudable achievements recorded in the last seven years of his administration.
