PDP Disowns Fake List Of Venues For Primary Election Ahead Of Edo Governorship Poll

The party made this known in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Monday, while debunking reports that the party has released the list.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that it has not released the list of venues for the Edo State three ad-hoc delegate congress for its governorship primary election ahead of the September 21 governorship election in the state.

The party made this known in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Monday, while debunking reports that the party has released the list.

According to the statement, the National Working Committee (NWC) of PDP therefore called on all members of the party in Edo State and the general public to discountenance the said publication.

“The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) @OfficialPDPNig has been drawn to a publication in a section of the media purported to have been signed by the National Organising Secretary as the list of venue for Edo State PDP 3 Ad-Hoc Delegate Congress for the PDP Governorship Primary election in the State.

“The PDP states in clear terms that it has not released any list of venue for Edo State PDP 3 Ad-Hoc Delegate Congress as claimed in the said publication.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP is a party of due process and will publish the authentic and official list of venue for the PDP 3 Ad-Hoc Delegate Congress through the appropriate channel of communication of the party.

“The NWC therefore calls on all members of our Party in Edo State and the general public to discountenance the said publication.

“The PDP charges the media to always rely on the official communication channel of the Party for information as provided in the Constitution of the PDP,” Ologunagba stated.
