Lulu-Briggs applauds cancellation of
Rivers PDP congresses

A Rivers State governorship aspirant on the
platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief
Dumo Lulu-Briggs, has commended the national
leadership of the party for cancelling the ward
congresses of the party in the state.
Lulu-Briggs is one of the governorship aspirants
that called on the party’s national leadership of
the party to cancel the ward congresses, which
were boycotted by some aspirants due to
perceived irregularities.

In a statement by his media aide, Al-Humphrey
Onyanabo, on Monday, Lulu-Briggs said that for
equity sake, it would be in the best interest of
the PDP to adopt zoning as a criterion for
choosing its governorship candidate.

He said, “I must congratulate the national
executive of our great party, the PDP, for having
the boldness to do the right thing. It took a lot of
courage but then, I have always known that our
party, the PDP, will do the right thing.

The PDP
has a great internal democracy mechanism that
has always helped us to resolve issues; that is the
strength of our party.

“From the onset the majority of Rivers people
were against the ward congresses because we
felt a lot of things had not been put in place and
it was, therefore, like putting the cart before the
horse – to have a ward congress when a party
register was not in place.

But certain persons felt
they had the powers to go ahead despite our
protest and today, the congresses have been
cancelled. Those ward congresses were a sham.

“Also, don’t forget that President Goodluck
Jonathan will not allow impunity to occur within
the party in Rivers because he wants the best for
the state.”

The aspirant said the upland parts of the state
had produced governors for two consecutive
terms of eight years each, adding that it would
be unfair to the people of the waterside to be
denied again in 2015.

Good job PDP!!!

Kudos. A welcome development.

Tales by moonlight...

This is an evidence that PDP has no grip of Rivers State. Who says Amaechi is not stronger than Jonathan, his wife, Bipi and Wike together? See as confusion is tearing PDP apart.
