The National leadership of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said that all its presidential aspirants
must sign an undertaking that they will abide by the outcome of its
presidential primary slated for October 5 and 6.

would give a commitment to the party, that they would not defect to other
political parties either before or after the primary.

run on the party’s platform.
The National Publicity Secretary
of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Friday, said
that all the aspirants had been informed about the need to have what he called
“code of conduct” ahead of the primary.
He said” “It is an undertaking
and it will be signed by all our presidential aspirants. The undertaking will
tell the aspirants what the party expects from them before, during and after
the primary.
“The undertaking will make it
clear that all the signatories must abide by the decision of the party
concerning the primary.
“The party is already preparing
it and I want to say again that it will be binding on all those that are taking
part in the presidential primary and are signatories to the MOU.
“However, I want to make it clear
that the party is not into any illegal act. We are going to organise a
transparent, free and fair presidential primary, whose outcome will be
acceptable to our party, the contestants and the electorate.”
