The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
House of Assembly primaries may have
ended in Rivers state, but DAILY POST can
report that all is still not well within the
fold of the party.
Most of the aspirants who emerged under
the platform of the PDP were unopposed.
The primaries which is the first among all
the stages of primaries was greeted with
protests from many other aspirants who
lamented the ‘strange’ disqualification.
Some of the House of Assembly aspirants
claimed they were cleared at the party
Headquarters in Abuja but were dismayed
to see that they were disqualified on
getting to Port Harcourt.
The aspirants pointed accusing fingers at
the Minister of State for Education,
Nyesom Wike and State Chairman of the
party, Felix Obuah for manipulating the
entire process.
One of the protesters, Barr. Tubotamuon
Dick told DAILY POST that the PDP in
Rivers state was being run as cult group.
Dick also said latest developments in the
party will hamper the chances of
President Goodluck Jonathan in the state.
“They have no reason to disqualify us. The
whole thing was hijacked by the
combination of Nyesom Wike, Uche
Secondus and their two-man executive. I
have worked actively for the party and
there is no way I can be disqualified.
“I can assure you that this particular act of
injustice on the House of Assembly
primaries in Rivers state will be used to
address all the issues affecting PDP in this
state.
“People are using their personal interest
to jeopardise our entire interest at the
expense of Mr. President.
“How can a thug pass screening and a
Lawyer with two degrees be disqualified.
They said I’m not a party member but it is
cultists that are members.
“The attitudes they showing is more like
that of a cult and remember Ankiio had
said it earlier.
