The panel charged with screening candidates for the forthcoming national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party has explained why it disqualified four candidates from elections into party offices.
a) Undermining the Authority of the National Convention to act as PDP National Secretary after the dissolution of the National Working Committee and the appointment of the National Caretaker Committee. All these are infractions against Section 58 , , , & of the Party’s Constitution which are punishable under Section 59 of the Party’s Constitution.Reason: Not cleared for violating the zoning formula. The Committee established that the position of the PDP National Secretary was micro-zoned to Imo State, pursuant to the Principle of Rotation and Zoning of the Party’s offices as prescribed in our Party’s Constitution. The position was micro-zoned to Imo State and he is from Anambra State.
b) A notice of discontinuance filed on 15th October, 2021, was an afterthought, because it was filed after the court refused his application for injunction to stop the National Convention.Reason: There was a petition against him.
