‘Don’t de-market our party in Edo’- PDP chieftain asks Obaseki, Shaibu to resolve differences

The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to cancel the House of Assembly and House of Representatives primaries in the state.

The state chairman of the party, Mr. Philips Aivoji, made the call at a press briefing on Sunday evening.

Aivoji, who was accompanied by other members of the State Working Commitee (SWC) and governorship aspirants, said the ad-hoc delegates’ lists brought by the electoral committee for both primaries had been compromised.

He said: “We are all shocked to see that the lists do not reflect the authentic elected Ad-Hoc delegates as conducted by the organs of the party at the ward level and supervised by the DSS and INEC.

“Copies of the Ad-Hoc lists that emanated from the state and submitted to INEC are completely different from the one brought by the committee for the purpose of the exercise.

“Up till this moment, we cannot reach out to the committee chairman and secretary and their telephones have either been switched off or unreachable.

“As law abiding members of our great party, we collectively reject these lists and we cannot guarantee, free, fair and credible party primaries that we have sworn to conduct.

“The processes have been compromised ab initio and skewed to favour a particular aspirant.

“We, therefore, call for outright cancellation of the election exercise. Doing otherwise would only jeopardise the chances of the party at the polls.”
