The National Working Committee (NWC) of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has canceled
the endorsement of candidates by officials of
the party for the 2015 general elections at its
state chapters.
In a statement issued by Prof. Wale Oladipo, the
PDP National Secretary, the decision was
reached at the NWC meeting on Thursday in
Abuja.
He said that some elected officers of the party at
the state level, had continued to engage in
processes aimed at endorsing candidates for the
2015 general elections.
This, he said, was in spite of warnings from the
party’s national leadership that as unbiased
umpires, party officials should not be involved
in such practice.
He however, added that the party’s NWC would
not hesitate to protect party members “who in
any way stand to be shortchanged, cheated or
victimised by such endorsements”.
The party scribe said that the PDP would
conduct primaries to duly elect its flag bearers
in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act
and the party`s constitution.
He charged members and supporters to
disregard all such endorsements, adding that the
party would not hesitate to sanction erring
officers or chapters involved in such practice.
This he said, was the final warning, stressing
that the sanctity of the party`s nomination
processes must be protected at all times.
He assured party members that a level-playing
ground would be provided for all aspirants
intending to participate in the nomination
processes.
