Former Deputy Senate President and governorship aspirant in
Enugu State has asked “all lovers of democracy” to shun the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, national delegates’ Congress scheduled for today, Monday.
Ekweremadu, in a statement signed by his Campaign Director,
alleged that the 3-man ad hoc delegates’ congress held earlier in the State was
already a subject of litigation as it fell below guidelines.
He said that “some interest groups are planning to use the
concocted list of three-man delegates that is being challenged in court in the
election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Delegates in Enugu
today, the 10th day of May 2022.”
He claimed that “those on that list never participated in
the election of three-man delegates in Enugu State and where they participated,
they lost.”
“The Ikeoha Campaign Organisation, therefore, advises the
PDP to refrain from impunity and allow the courts to adjudicate on the matter.
Any such disrespect to the court process on the matter will have consequences
on our primary elections.
“In the circumstance, therefore, we urge the PDP to suspend
the exercise of electing National Delegates in Enugu State today and await the
court verdict regarding the three-man delegates.
“We equally hereby advise all lovers of democracy and all
those who have respect for our judiciary to shun today’s exercise,” he said.
Meanwhile, the PDP Election Committee from Abuja had after
conducting the 3-man delegates’ congress, in Enugu State, adjudged it to be
peaceful and successful.
A High Court in the State had also ordered the party to use
the list of delegates produced from the exercise.
