The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday, said the Tanimu Turaki faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is deceiving its candidates by collecting money from them.
Wike, however, noted that Turaki’s move would backfire
because the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has given the
authentic leadership of the party access code to upload its candidate to the
website.
He spoke during the monthly media chat on the state of the
nation in Abuja.
According to Wike, “When this thing started and I told the
press that this thing that Turaki is doing, he has collected money from people,
but it will backfire.
“Why will it backfire, now, INEC has given access codes to
political parties as recognized. Have they given him an access code? So which
candidates will he sell forms to? They have given us an access code, and we are
uploading our candidates but you are not uploading your own candidates.
“They will tell the people, listen, there is still hope and
you must be the candidate because we will take legal action and until the
election finishes that hope will still be there.
“When elections have not been conducted, they will continue
to give them that kind of hope. So the issue of faction, it’s you people that
is making them believe that there is still faction, the mere faction that
somebody disagrees with me does not constitute a faction, no.
“Which Secretariat do they have as a party? They don’t
attend INEC meetings, and yet you still call them a faction.
“Tomorrow they will and say this government is this and
that, they are not a faction, those who are recognized to speak are the
authorized leadership of the party.”
