Former Deputy President of the Senate and frontline
governorship aspirant in Enugu State, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has called on the
leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State to ensure a
transparent and credible process in the run up to the 2023 general election.
Ekweremadu said such was critical in ensuring that the most
popular candidates emerge from the process.
The Senator spoke in Enugu on Tuesday during a consultative
session with the leadership of the Enugu State PDP.
He noted that decisions made by delegates in electing
candidates would not only have massive impacts on the party’s fortunes at the
general election, but also the quality of governance after election.
“I am here essentially to solicit votes because all members
of the party’s State executive are statutory delegates, starting from the House
of Assembly to the National Assembly, and ultimately the gubernatorial
primaries.
“I am also here to further advise them to ensure a free and
fair process. I would love to see everybody at the end say that our delegates
and primary elections were free and fair. That is the only way we can ensure
justice, equity, and peace.
“I am looking forward to a process that will be very
transparent and productive so that we can all go to the election after the
primary as one strong house, undivided.
“I am equally calling on all stakeholders and aspirants to
various offices to toe the path of sportsmanship and democratic ideals of the
PDP. That way, the PDP will emerge stronger”.
Earlier, the State Chairman of the party, Hon. Augustine
Nnamani commended the Senator for his contributions to what the PDP is today at
both the State and national levels, adding that the lawmaker had always shown
good faith at all times.
Nnamani and other speakers also assured that the party would
ensure a free, fair, credible, and transparent process.
