DELTA 2014: Knocks on 14 Abuja PDP aspirants’ gang up, as aspirants allege forgery of signatures




As reactions continue to trail the 11th November meeting of the fourteen Delta State PDP aspirants at the Asokoro residence of elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, some of the aspirants whose names and signatures were appended on the advertorial which was published in some national dailies, have exonerated themselves from being signatories to the document.

Yesterday, one of the aspirants who is also a special adviser to the President, Prof Sylvester Monye while debunking claims that he ‘forged’ the signature of another aspirant, Ndudi Elumelu stated that having instructed Chief Clark to tell Monye to sign on his behalf, Monye refused. As a result of this, the house finally resolved to use his hand written name from the attendance register as an evidence of his participation in the meeting where the content of the communique was agreed.

Another aspirant whose signature was also appended on the communiqué is Chief David Edevbie. Findings revealled that Chief Edevbie who left the meeting midway probably to the uncomfortable stand of the meeting, had his signature on the communiqués as well. Two aspirants who names were on the communiqué are Chief Peter Okocha and Chief Godswill Obielum.

Meanwhile the aspirants who have now been tagged as the “14 Abuja aspirants” have been receiving knocks from different quarters on their positions as stated in thecommuniquĂ©.
However, all attempts to speak with Chief Clark who presided over the meeting on what actually happened on the alleged signatory forging proved abortive as he consistently acted like he has handicapped with the bad Nigeria network saying, “Please I can’t hear you” neither did he reply series of SMS sent to him.


The aspirants are Barr. Ovie Omo-Agege, Chief Kenneth Gbagi, Hon. Victor Ochei, Prof Sylvester Monye and Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa.
Others are Hon Ndudu Elumelu, Chief Davide Edevbie, Hon Peter Obi, Dr. Esther Uduehi, Chief Johnson Opone, Chief Gabriel Oyibode, Ofuani, Chief Peter Okocha and Chief Godswill Obielum.
