2023: PDP denies postponing presidential primaries

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) debunked the reports making the rounds that the party has postponed its national convention for the primaries of the 2023 presidential election.

The PDP noted that it has commenced the process to elect its presidential candidate for the 2023 general election.

The main opposition party made this known via a statement issued and made available to The Star on Saturday by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba.

The statement was titled, ‘PDP 2022 National Convention holds as scheduled today’.

It read: “The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to speculations from some strange quarters that it has postponed its 2022 National Convention holding today, Saturday, May 28, 2022

“For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP states in very clear terms that is has not postponed its 2022 Special National Convention.

“The 2022 Special National Convention of the PDP is on course as scheduled today, Saturday, May 28, 2022, and there is no contemplation whatsoever for postponement to elect our presidential candidate for the 2023 general election in line with our mission to rescue and rebuild our nation from misrule.

“The PDP as a party of due process has since commenced processes

“Our party remains focused and will not be distracted by the shenanigans and underhand dealings of the rudderless, deceitful and manipulative All Progressives Congress (APC), which is desperate to orchestrate uncertainties, derail the electoral process and subvert the Will of the people in the 2023 general election.

“The PDP 2022 Special National Convention is already on course, our presidential candidates, national delegates, teeming members of our great party and Nigerians from across the country are set for the National Convention, which will at the end, credibly and transparently deliver a presidential candidate who will be the choice of majority of Nigerians in the 2023 general election,” the PDP stated.
