The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has dismissed reports that the Ward Congresses conducted by the party in Enugu on Saturday had been canceled.
Reacting to reports that the National Working Committee, NWC of the party plans to conduct ward congresses in Enugu today, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh said that the National leadership has not cancelled any ward congress in any State, including Enugu State, just as he explained that appeal panels were set up where members could lay their complaints after the congresses.
He said: “No state congress has been canceled in Nigeria by the National Working Committee, NWC; the NWC has no right to outrightly cancel the ward congresses when it has not received report from the appeal panels.
“There is an appeal panel, there are guidelines, we expect that people should send their complaints to the panel; it will listen to them and the panel would at the end of the day send the report to the NWC for further action”.
It would be recalled that there were reports that there were strong indications that the PDP, Enugu State chapter may conduct fresh ward congresses today.
the reports also claimed that the option of conducting fresh congresses was thrown up at the NWC meeting held in Abuja.
