PDP Condemns Withdrawal Of Candidates For FCT Elections by naptu2(op): 6:30am On Feb 21
Official PDP Nigeria @OfficialPDPNig

Press Statement
FCT ELECTIONS: WITHDRAWAL OF CANDIDATES, SHAMEFUL AND NOT WITH THE CONSENT OF THE PARTY

The National Working Committee of the Party @OfficialPDPNig has received with utter dismay the news of the withdrawal or stepping down of some Chairmanship Candidates of our Party from the forthcoming Abuja Local Council elections.

This action is anti-democratic in every sense and is hereby totally condemned by the Party. Democracy thrives on healthy electoral contests, not forced or induced melodramatic consensus, as currently witnessed in the build-up to the FCT local council elections.

As sad as this development is, it is a pointer to the type of voodoo democracy promoted by those parading as leaders of the PDP, whose only interest is to ‘hold’ the party for the President. This is a exactly what they intended to do to Nigerians, when close to the Presidential elections, they can compel, induce or cajole all the other candidates to step down or withdraw for the President to have a smooth sail back to Aso Rock Villa, despite the abysmal performance of his administration.

It was for ignoble, reckless and shameless acts like these that we excommunicated them from our party, in order to rebuild a strong opposition party, prepared for a struggle to return to power by 2027.

Furthermore, voters should go to the polls prepared to protect their votes and ensure that Presiding Officers transmit Form EC8A immediately after announcing the result at the polling unit.

Signed:

Comrade Ini Ememobong, mnipr
National Publicity Secretary

Candidates withdrawing on the eve of elections?

PDP is gone for good! Tinubu has totally killed, destroyed and buried that party through wike, Democracy is gone, murdered by the APC. We've never had it this bad.

The fallout between Tinubu and Wike will be epic, it's just a matter of time.

The PDP saw this coming and kept quiet for too long before sanctioning wike. He does as he pleases, because you guys were too afraid to call a spade, a spade.
Re: PDP Condemns Withdrawal Of Candidates For FCT Elections by Zionmdde: 6:53am On Feb 21
They allowed wike to destroy their party. Somebody that should have been expelled since 2022

Let them enjoy the rubbles remaining of their party

There’s nothing they could do to him. Since he owns the courts and practically spoon feeds all the judges, they can even jump into fire if he asks them to.

But hee Gona be gone as soon as Tinubu disperses him to the dustbin
Re: PDP Condemns Withdrawal Of Candidates For FCT Elections by Wadoboy(m): 7:01am On Feb 21
They PDP knows who is playing voodoo politics, why releasing big big grammarian press release.

Oya match to Wike residence and drag him like Tiger Generator

They say Atiku is the problem of PDP.

So who are they going to blame now.......PBAT?
Re: PDP Condemns Withdrawal Of Candidates For FCT Elections by Tecno66: 7:03am On Feb 21
This is what happens when you recognize counterfeit and leave the mainstream. Wike and his cotravellers have sold out to APC with their so-called rainbow coalition.

Wike and his gang, also known as Wike & Co. Caretaker Committee Ltd, parading themselves as PDP members, are up to no good. They, and the Tinubu government they are working for, are anti-democratic forces destroying this country.

NWIKE has become cancer to PDP.

Other parties should learn.
Re: PDP Condemns Withdrawal Of Candidates For FCT Elections by alanto: 7:35am On Feb 21
Nothing was said in this press release.

Is the man going to contest or not? As the working committee, are you going to make sure he gets on the ballot?
Re: PDP Condemns Withdrawal Of Candidates For FCT Elections by israelmao(m): 7:59am On Feb 21
PDP is not a serious opposition party,its dilatory action towards Wike's anti-party activities has led to its destruction.

Re: PDP Condemns Withdrawal Of Candidates For FCT Elections by segun18(m): 8:34am On Feb 21
Wike has destroyed PDP.No solid opposition for APC again except may ADC.

So Seyi Makinde was right all the while when he said Wike had openly promised BAT that he was going to hold PDP down for him

If it happens, Wike will be the biggest losser. He will not because he is positioning himself for V.P in 2031 that's why he is doing his busy body but one thing l know is that he woll be dissapointed.

I think maybe because he was one of the major people financing the party as Rivers State governor. They tolerated his excesses for too long & now it has gone out of control.

..why won't the court give wike back up ,..when wike has built houses for judges .... that is why it's not good for politicians to intervene into the judiciary sector.
