The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reiterated it’s determination to reclaim the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives from Honourable Aminu Tambuwal, adding that his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a way for God to expose him.
National vice chairman of the party in the zone, Dr Cairo Ojugboh, made this assertion in a chat with reporters at the national secretariat of the party, in Abuja, on Thursday.
According to him, all those who stole from the party would be similarly exposed and flushed out.
“PDP is a very disciplined party. If you come and steal in the PDP and use the PDP to elevate yourself and get into office, when the time comes, God will get you out like the issue of Tambuwal.
“You can see how God has exposed him. PDP will do everything within the law to regain its seat and that is what we are going to do in Edo and Rivers states. We are going back to South-South to regain our seats,” he said.
Also speaking on Governor Rotimi Amaechi or Rivers State, Ojugboh observed that the governor would not be around to hand over to his successor when his tenure expires next year.
Advising party members to ignore Amaechi’s boast, Ojugboh alleged that the governor was already making plans to leave the country.
“I can assure you that come May 29, 2015, Amaechi will not be there in Rivers State to hand over. We know a lot of them. Some persons were boasting like that in Adamawa State, but where are they today?
The zonal national vice chairman denied that some aspirants had been denied the opportunity to obtain nomination form to contest the presidential election.
According to him, “nobody in PDP is denied nomination forms. Everybody that wants to buy has access. We are attending to the complaints coming from the sale of forms.
“If, for instance, you are from the South South and you have any complaint about anyone shortchanging you, please go to the zonal office in Port Harcourt and the issue will be addressed. The PDP will never disenfranchise anybody,” he said.
He said as a disciplined party, PDP had already taken a position on the presidency, but added that if anyone had any issue with it, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party would address it.
He said those who had paid for the ticket other than its sole candidate would be refunded.
