The Zoning Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has concluded its sitting on the party’s zoning arrangement.

Chairman of the Committee, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, who briefed journalists at the end of the committee’s meeting in Abuja, said members have reached a unanimous agreement on the matter.
