As the leadership crisis rocking the National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), continues to fester, an aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State, Matthew Iduoriyekemwen, has disclosed that he would be participating in the party primaries under the Ali Modu Sheriff-led PDP.

Iduoriyekemwen, who took part in the PDP primaries held last Monday has also rejected the outcome of the party’s primary, which produced Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as its candidate.

Leadership Sunday also learnt that the member representing Egor/Ikpoba Okha at the national assembly, Hon E.J Agbonyinwan has also bought nomination/expression of interest form for the primary.

Iduoriyekemwen  also pledged his loyalty to the Ali Modu Sheriff leadership of the party and added that he would participate in the primary election of the group scheduled for June 28

The former Majority Leader in the state House of Assembly, who spoke in Benin, the state capital, described the primary election as a “comedy” which was “clinically manipulated” to favour the preferred candidate of the state leadership of the party.

He said, “Having looked at all the processes, starting from the clinical manipulation and rigging of the primary, I hereby fully dissociate myself from every process that led to that so-called primary which ended on June 20.

“I and members of my team across the state reject the outcome and we pledge our loyalty to the authentic leadership of the party headed by Ali Modu Sheriff. They have drawn up the programme for the PDP primary and I hereby declare that I and my team are participating in that primary.

“I and members of my campaign team have met, we have tried to review all that transpired and we have come up with the fact that what transpired that day could best be termed a comedy, in the sense that the processes that led to the event of that day were clinically planned and orchestrated like the party had indeed endorsed a candidate.” http://leadership.ng/news/539232/2-aspirants-to-contest-edo-guber-ticket-under-sheriff-led-pdp

It is really high time this PDP comedy of a thing stop. The founders of the party that are still alive today should urgently meet with the different factions and help to resolve this issue that has been dragging on for long. They are not even playing the role of an opposition party which is really important in a vibrant democracy.
