The Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-South, said it would partner other
leadership of the party in other zones to produce credible candidate for 2019
presidential election.
National Vice Chairman of the
party, South-South, Mr Emmanuel Ogidi, however, assured that emergence of the
candidate would follow democratic process as stipulated in PDP Constitution.
He told NAN
that the zone would support the efforts of the National Working Committee to
reposition the party for victory in the 2019 general elections.
Ogidi expressed confidence in the
NWC “to organise free and fair primaries in selecting candidates for all
positions in the elections”.
The chieftain urged the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) to take urgent measures to ensure the
credibility of the voter register ahead of the elections.
He condemned the registration of
under-age voters in parts of the country and the participation of such voters
in the recent council polls in Kano state.
Ogidi
accused INEC of conniving with some politicians to perpetrate the illegality of
the under-age voter registration.
He also called on Buhari to give
assent to the Electoral Act recently amended by the National Assembly, saying
that when made a law, it would reduce tension in the polity.
