Update : PDP Governorshipprimaries by amzee(m): 5:04pm On Dec 08, 2014
Ogun : governorship primaries
Gbade Ogunwale , Abuja
The leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party ( PDP ) has
cancelled the just concluded
governorship primary election
in Ogun State.
A statement on Monday by the
party ’ s National Publicity
Secretary , Chief Olisa Meuh
said the PDP did not authorise
any governorship primary in
the state.
“Consequently , any such
exercise held in Ogun state is
hereby declared null and void
and of no effect . A new date
will be communicated for the
primaries ”, the statement
added
Kaduna : Yero favoured as
delegates vote Kaduna
Abdulgafar Alabelewe, Kaduna
The Peoples Democratic Party
( PDP ) governorship primary is
on in Kaduna State, with the
incumbent Governor Mukhtar
Ramalan Yero and Vice
President Namadi Sambo
waiting to vote .
The contest is between the
incumbent Governor Mukhtar
Ramalan Yero and Senator
Zego Aziz .
Three other aspirants , Lawal
Samaila Yakawada, Air
Commodore Ajeye, Jimmy
Dung and Felix Hassan Hyat
withdrew before the
commencement of the
primaries .
Meanwhile the election
process in peaceful and
orderly . The incumbent
Governor Mukhtar Ramalan
Yero is the likely winner as
some delegates vote and
chant ‘sai Yero’ .
CROSS RIVER : GODDY JEDY
AGBA WITHDRAWS
The crisis rocking the Peoples
Democratic Party ( PDP )
governorship contest in Cross
River State, took a turn for the
worse on Monday , when a
leading contender , Prince
Goddy Jedy Agba opted out of
the primary election.
The aspirant in a statement
issued in Calabar by his
media consultant, Phrank
Shaibu said that his
withdrawal was hinged on the
grounds that the delegates’
congress list was fraught with
irregularities .
“The party has confirmed our
initial suspicion and fears that
they were desperately
committed to excluding Prince
Goddy Jedy Agba from all
democratic processes leading
up the fulfillment of his
gubernatorial ambition . ”
“From the initial proclamation
that he was not a member of
the party to the cancellation of
the November 1 st ad hoc
delegate congress , his
purported suspension from the
party and now , the mutilation
of the delegates list, it is
doubtful that the playing field
for the intended Cross River
State PDP Governorship
primaries would be
sufficiently balanced , rather it
is likely to lean in favour of the
outgoing state Governor ’s
purported choice of candidate.
“Anyone , that understands
Nigerian politics a little
should know how important it
is for an incumbent State
Governor to see that his
successor covers his tracks.
However, this should not be a
crucial role for the PDP ’s
appointed panel in redefining
how a democratic process of
electing the next governor of a
State in a civilized society
should be .
“Otherwise , if allowed, it will
amount to deprivation and
oppression of the electorate .
In turn, this may bring about
chaos and active or passive
rebellion by many people.
“Even when one does not feel
a sense of worry for the PDP if
it loses Cross River State to
another Party in the
governorship and general
elections , it is time our
political leaders learnt how to
take decisions that would
build our democracy than
destroy it. Democracy is about
more than holding elections. A
real and true democracy
should reflect the will of the
people .” Shaibu stated.
Niger : Senator Aliyu
withdraws from guber race
Jide Orintunsin , Minna
Barely three hours to the
Peoples Democratic Party’ s
governorship primary in Niger
State, a front line aspirant ,
Senator Nuhu Aliyu , has
withdrawn from the race .
He told journalists in Minna
on Monday that his decision
was borne out of lack of level
playing ground for all the
aspirants , accusing the state
governor, Dr. Mu’ azu
Babangida Aliyu and the party
of imposing a candidate on
the party .
He said , “Despite repeated
denials even when some
elders led by former Governor
A .A Kure met with him ( Gov .
Aliyu ) , the governor is still
going ahead to impose a
candidate on us. It has never
happened before. I have my
fears for our party and our
state . ”
The retired deputy inspector
general of police also faulted
the inability of the party to
give direction on who governs
the state, saying it is not
showing interest on the
calibre and competence of
who emerges as the party ’s
standard bearer.
Aliyu ’ s withdrawal now brings
the number of aspirants to
eight .
He debunked claimed that he
was forced to withdraw from
the race , saying, “it is not true
that I was boxed to
submission . I used my
judgment and withdrawn
based on my conviction that
the step taken was right .”
Ogun: Tension as party sets to

Ernest Nwokolo, Abeokuta
Tension suffused at the
Secretariat of the Peoples
Democratic Party( PDP ) in
Ogun State on Monday
morning as the party prepares
to pick a candidate that

Amosun of the All

Security Service ( DSS ) , about

political thugs and
miscreants .
