Hmm!!! After Declaring Jonathan As Consensus Candidate, PDP Makes U-Turn [DETAIL]

Exactly 48hrs to the close of the sale of its presidential and other nomination forms, the Peoples Democratic Party has called on any member interested in the party’s presidential primary to obtain the forms.

It has therefore urged all interested aspirants to all offices, including the office of the President in the party, to be free to come to the national headquarters of the party with the proof of payment, and pick their nomination forms.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated this in a statement in Abuja on Monday.

The statement said, “The Peoples Democratic Party wishes to inform all aspirants to all positions for the 2015 general elections that the deadline for the purchase and collection of all nomination forms has been extended to Thursday, November 6, 2014.

“All aspirants who paid for nomination forms, including the Presidential form but yet to collect same, should come to the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja with a verifiable evidence of payment for purposes of collection of their forms.”

When our correspondent called Metuh to verify whether the party would only sell only to those who who have paid for the forms, he said no.

“Those who have paid are free to come while those who want to also pay for the forms are free to do, “ he added.

Our correspondent reports that the U-turn made by the party on this might not be unconnected with the position of two presidential aspirants, Dr. Abdul-Jhalil Tafawa-Balewa and Prof. Akasoba Duke-Abiola, who were at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja on Tuesday last week to purchase the forms, but were turned back
