The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says it’s not true that it has shut its doors against any member of the Party wishing to contest for the office of Governor in the State in 2015.
The party through a statement issued by Jerry Needam, Special Adviser on Media to the State Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah said this in response to rumours in some section of the media that the Party has stopped the leader of the Party in the State, and Supervising Minister of Education, Chief Barr. Nyesom Wike from contesting the 2015 governorship election.
Dismissing the report as the handiwork of intimidated aspirants and opponents particularly, the All Progressives Congress, APC, the PDP said that the 2015 general elections are guided by rules and time table and wondered whether the time to begin to consider candidates has come.
"The PDP has not called for or received any letter of intent with regard to the 2015 governorship election from any member of the Party nationwide and so the issue of choosing who is fit or not to be the Party’s flag bearer at this stage does not arise. This can only exist in the imagination of lunatics" the PDP statement said.
"As a Party founded on democratic ideals, the PDP will obey all set standards and criteria, and process of contesting intra and inter Party elections which are open to all members irrespective of religion, tribe, ethnicity or social status etc"
"The Party reassures all its members and intending aspirants into any elective office in the state that there will be Fair Play and a level playing ground for all of them, stressing that the smear campaign against the Supervising Minister of Education, Chief Barr. Wike is borne out of fear of his intimidating political profile and overwhelming acceptance by Rivers people as evidenced in the continued calls on him to present himself for election into the office of Governor of the State in 2015"
"The Party therefore enjoins all Rivers people and the unwavering Party members and supporters to discountenance the sponsored rumours and media campaign against its leader, Chief Barr. Wike, emphasizing that the report of alleged stopping of the Supervising Minister of Education from contesting the Rivers State governorship election is not true. It is false, baseless and without foundation", the statement added.
