Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to a story in the Sunday Punch of June 17, 2018 titled “PDP LIST GUIDELINES FOR PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS, DEMANDS N12M FOR FORMS”.

We wish to state categorically that the Party is still in the process of drawing up the guidelines for its presidential primary election. It is therefore misleading to claim that the Party has ‘listed its guidelines’ not to talk of the cost of nomination forms.

At the appropriate time the proposals will be presented to NEC of the Party which will approve as it deems fit. Only then can one say that it has the guidelines for the 2018 presidential primary election.

The National Working Committee of the PDP, under the leadership of Prince Uche Secondus, is committed to adhering strictly to the PDP Constitution and the constitution in Chapter 8 (50) (1) grants NEC the power to formulate the guidelines for aspirants in any of its Party Primaries, the presidential primary inclusive.

We appreciate the interest in the electoral processes of our great Party and the Party is always ready to respond to any enquiries and to make all necessary information available. We therefore, urge the general public, party and our esteemed presidential aspirants to disregard the said publication. The authentic guidelines for PDP presidential primary election will be released as soon as they are considered by the organs of the Party.

Signed.

Col Austin Akobundu

National Organizing Secretary, NOS

Bitter truth

Buhari will rule till 2023

Uchesecondus abeg is tonye a member of ya party or an imposter?

Please let the guide lines be encoming for every one,allow for party faithful inputs and opinions .Above all let the people decide for their flag bearers without external or internal influences. By extention ,flag bearers will be the public choose during the General election proper.

The backlash they received is just too much

Better for you, because some parts of the said guidelines would further sink your ship.

KACHIKWU IS WHAT HAPPENS TO TOP TECHNOCRATS IN THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT, ESPECIALLY IN A BUHARI PRESIDENCY

When President Buhari finally unveiled his ministerial appointees in 2015, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu was one of the very few stars in the galaxy of the same old, same old career politicians Buhari assembled.

With a PhD from Harvard and a good career in the global oil industry, Kachikwu was a promise of great things for the Nigerian oil industry. But what has happened? His technocratic pedigree has been neutralised by the political authority that operates above him.

This validates what Prof. Kingsley Moghalu has astutely identified to the Nigerian electorate: top technocrats working under the political authority of incompetent and visionless elected officials cannot deliver optimally.

To actualise the full performance capabilities of top technocrats in government, the electorate needs to vest political authority in some of them, by electing them as president and governors.

Kingsley, a top technocrat, has put himself forward to Nigerians by running for president in 2019. We need to him and ensure he becomes our next president. That way, his competences and those of other technocrats he will appoint to his government can best serve our country.
