The National Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the electoral act amendment.
A statement issued on Tuesday by Ike Abonyi, the media aide to the PDP chairman, quoted Secondus as saying this when he received Atahiru Bafarawa, former governor of Sokoto, and Ibrahim Dankwambo, governor of Gombe – both presidential aspirants.
Famzn News understands that the aspirants were at the Legacy House, the national campaign office of the party, to pick the party’s nomination and expression of interest forms.
Secondus said there should be no delay in signing the new electoral act because it would deepen the electoral system and ensure faster growth of the country’s democracy.
The PDP chairman assured all the aspirants that the primary elections would be free, fair and transparent where the decision of the delegates would prevail.
Secondus appealed to all the aspirants to work in harmony in the interest of the party and ensure its victory in 2019
His words: “Let me assure all aspirants of our party that the era of impunity or imposition is over in the party as a rebranded PDP, under my watch, would ensure transparency and fairness to all,” he said.
“We must not forget to put the will of God in all we do, bearing in mind that nobody gets power unless as designed and approved by God.
“We are proud of all our aspirants, all of them are eminently qualified to rule this country“, Secondus added.
