PDPNigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said on Monday that it will review “processes and result” of the Ondo State primary election held in the morning.
In a statement to TheSimonAtebaNews the PDP’s National Working Committee (NWC) said it had received “series of serious phone calls and petitions regarding the processes of the primary it ordered for Ondo governorship election, which was held in Ibadan this morning”
“While the result from the exercise is at best tentative, until approved by the NWC, the NWC wishes to assure all aspirants, stakeholders, members and teeming supporters of the party in the state that it will comprehensively review the processes and circumstances of the exercise accordingly,” said Mr. Okey Nnaedozie, the party’s National Organizing Secretary
“This decision is as a result of serious reports claiming that proper accreditation was not done for the exercise.
“The review therefore will enable the NWC take an informed decision on whether to conduct a fresh primary or uphold the result from today’s (August 29th 2016) exercise.
“The NWC notes that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has given political parties up to September 19th to conduct primaries for the Ondo governorship election.
“Finally, the National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff assures all aspirants, members and supporters of our great party in Ondo and across the nation that the NWC will come out with the best possible position on this matter,” the party said.
