Nigerians’ll beg PDP to come back in 2019 – Ojougboh
PORT HARCOURT— National Vice Chairman, South-South, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, has decried the crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress, APC, saying that Nigerians will beg the PDP to come back in 2019.
Ojougboh, Monday, at the South-South secretariat of the PDP in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, said that the APC had shown convincingly that it lacked coordination and ideology.
He said that a committee of the PDP headed by Senator Ahmed Makarfi was at the PDP South-South secretariat to receive memorandum on how the party can rebound ahead of 2019 general elections.
He added that the PDP will not succumb to any form of intimidation to lose its cases at the various election tribunals in the South-South, insisting that the party won freely and fairly in the elections.
“Rivers and Akwa Ibom states tribunals are sitting in Abuja. No amount of intimidation will make the PDP lose the elections it won freely and fairly in those states. Any move to rig us out at the tribunals will be resisted,” he said.
He further reaffirmed the stand of the PDP rejecting the appointment of Hajia Amina Zakari as acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
“We have said that the appointment of Zakari is completely unacceptable to us. The example that ex-President Goodluck Jonathan gave should be followed. We know that she is not apolitical,” he added.
On the crisis of leadership rocking the PDP in Bayelsa State, he said that a committee had been set up to resolve the problem.
Meantime, Senator Markarfi told newsmen that he had received several memoranda from members on how to advance the fortunes of the party.
