But we\u2019re not yet going to say that the choice of the presidential flagbearer should be left exclusively to those zones. We\u2019ll give a level-playing field because good things are from every part of the country, and we have good hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are just saying that if we zone completely to those places, there may be some feelings of exclusion. There will be some feelings of even shortchanging Nigerians in terms of presenting the best. The merit-based leadership recruitment that we want to do, is even at the same time, looking at history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed also alleged that PDP lost the 2019 presidential election to President Muhammadu Buhari \u2014 as a result of \u201cmanipulation\u201d, stating that the party presented evidence but it was not accepted.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cWe do not want to be the weeping boys, we have looked inward to see what had prevented us from winning the election. We have a lot of evidence, which we tendered but was not accepted. The issue now is that we know we are all Nigerians. We know the nooks and crannies of Nigeria. We know what happened in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not only looking at the other side and playing the blame game; that is the fault of this present administration.
