To ensure justice, peace, equity and unity among members of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi State has decided to refund the fees to its members who purchased nomination forms to aspire for LGA Chairman or councilor in the forthcoming local government elections but lost in the primaries.
This was disclosed by the Publicity Secretary of the party, Yayanuwa Zainabari while addressing Journalists at the party Secretariat in preparatory to the election.
Zainabari explained that it is only fair to refund the fees paid to assuage the lost of the primaries as well as to demonstrate that the party is a United entity and members are working as a family to ensure victory at polls.
He assured that the party has done its home work very well and is sure of victory assuring also that there will be a level playing field for every contestant as the election will be conducted in a free and fair atmosphere considering that people of the state have been looking forward to the election having been held last in the state 12 years ago.
Yayanuwa Zainabari then said that 20 candidates are contesting as Chairmen while 300 are contesting as councilors under the party in the October 17th local government elections.
