Secondus, who disclosed this to journalists in Abuja, said that the party could take the decision after reviewing its operation in the 2019 general elections.
He explained PDP has a strategy for carrying out its actions, adding that the exact same principle would be applied for its 2023 elections.
The chairman stated: “Following the general election, we put up a panel to study and appraise our performance and make necessary recommendations.
“The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, is going the committee and it is still working.
“We did exactly the same thing once we lost the election 2015 and set up Senator Ike Ekweremadu’s committee to check into why we lost. It was from that report that the party took action towards 2019.
“The exact same way this time, we have to examine our last outing before looking forward. We can not be talking of zoning when we have not appraised how we faired in the previous election.
“Moreover, the condition of the country today is that politics or anything concerning 2023 of three years away should take backstage.”
Secondus stated the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) took over the affairs of the party when it dropped the 2015 election.

According to him, the NWC inherited a party that had issues with inner democracy, because delegates were not given the final say on the selection of the party’s flag bearers for election.
He, however, stated the PDP under his leadership had significantly enhanced its image and standing.
Secondus added: “All over the country the PDP stays the bride. States under the party’s control rose from 11 to 16, while the party now makes use of an inner mechanism to resolve its internal issues.
“At the risk of being seen as blowing our own trumpet, it’s necessary to note that this NWC is the very first in transparency and accountability.
“It’s the very first to function effectively for three years without scandal or dent of corruption.
“The first, also to successfully render due to its monetary expenditures to both National Executive Council (NEC) and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as statutorily required.”
