He said after solving the zoning probability before supporting Obi candidature can now surface.
The former federal lawmaker stated this via his verified X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @ShehuSani on Sunday, May 19.
Sani added that the PDP National Working Committee and National Executive Committee (NEC) factors are important in determining the zoning.
He wrote:
“In maths, you have to solve the probability of “If PDP zone to the South East” before arriving at “I will support Obi”. But first, you have to find the factor of the control of “PDP’s NWC and NEC in the quadrant of zoning.”

Mr Ebony @donald_segun
Three very important equations have to be solved before Obi’s candidature can be a reality and these equations would not be easily solved.
Alhaji would have to fight for the control of the party’s NWC AND NEC with people like Wike who would be interested in the being president

Lol, very funny yet difficult math. I know PDP will zone the presidency to the North so that Atiku can contest again and Peter Obi who will soon defect to PDP can be his Vice. This is the puzzle.

Yes, you are right actually, but at this point, PDP has no chance again. The only option is to beg Obi so you can support him.
Unless you still want to be in this situation till…♂️
