We’ve not postponed our presidential primary – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party has dismissed reports that the party is trying to postponed its presidential primary election scheduled to hold in Abuja between Saturday and Sunday.

The national publicity secretary of the PDP, Mr Debo Ologunagba, in a statement on Saturday, said the party’s attention was drawn to speculations that it has postponed the exercise.

The party said the convention is on course as scheduled and called on members to disregard news of its postponement.

The statement reads, “The PDP as a party of due process has since commenced processes to elect our Presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections in line with our mission to rescue and rebuild our nation from misrule.

“Our Party remains focused and will not be distracted by the shenanigans and underhand dealings of the rudderless, deceitful and manipulative All Progressives Congress, which is desperate to orchestrate uncertainties, derail the electoral process and subvert the Will of the people in the 2023 general elections.

“The PDP 2022 Special National Convention is already on course, our Presidential candidates, national delegates, teeming members of our great Party and Nigerians from across the country are set for the National Convention, which will at the end, credibly and transparently deliver a Presidential candidate who will be the choice of majority of Nigerians in the 2023 general elections.

“The PDP therefore charges our members, swarming supporters, the International Community, election monitors and the general public to disregard and completely discountenance suggestions that the 2022 Special National Convention has been postponed.”
