PDP Shuts 'Corrupt' Members Out of Convention

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) facing trial at the court cannot stand for election into any position in the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party scheduled for May 21 in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.


An official of the party, who craved anonymity, told Daily Trust, yesterday, that the party was looking for members of proven integrity to fill ‎various offices as part of efforts to reposition the party for victory in 2019.

He said this position of the party, perhaps, informed the decision of the PDP national publicity secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, to declare yesterday that he won’t contest for any position at the convention.
