PDP: Our presidential primary on course as scheduled- Ologunagba
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed reports making the round that the party postponed its presidential primary election scheduled for today following the extension of the initial deadline by the Independent National Electoral Commission yesterday .
A statement on Saturday by Debo Ologunagba, PDP National Publicity Secretary, the party said its attention was drawn to speculations that it has postponed the exercise, adding that there is no iota of truth in the said reports.
The party said the convention will hold as scheduled and called on members to disregard news of its postponement.
“The PDP as a party of due process has since commenced processes to elect our Presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections in line with our mission to rescue and rebuild our nation from misrule,” it said.
“Our Party remains focused and will not be distracted by the shenanigans and underhand dealings of the rudderless, deceitful and manipulative All Progressives Congress (APC), which is desperate to orchestrate uncertainties, derail the electoral process and subvert the Will of the people in the 2023 general elections.
“The PDP 2022 Special National Convention is already on course, our Presidential candidates, national delegates, teeming members of our great Party and Nigerians from across the country are set for the National Convention, which will at the end, credibly and transparently deliver a Presidential candidate who will be the choice of majority of Nigerians in the 2023 general elections.
“The PDP therefore charges our members, swarming supporters, the International Community, election monitors and the general public to disregard and completely discountenance suggestions that the 2022 Special National Convention has been postponed.
“The APC is fighting a lost battle as its resort to manipulations and underhand dealings can never sway Nigerians in their determination to vote out the APC in 2023 and commence the rebuilding of our nation on the platform of the PDP.”
