Abuja - The People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) is in support of its
candidate, Tony Nwoye, who is
challenging the results if the
November 16 Anambra
governorship election.
Willie Obiano, the All Progressives
Grand Alliance candidate, was
recently declared the winner
following what some parties
described as a shambolic poll.
“The NWC is therefore in total
support of the suit filed by its
candidate, in the November 16,
2013 Anambra governorship
election,” the National Publicity
Secretary of the party Chief Olisa
Metuh, stated.
He described the action of the
candidate as a “step in the right
direction and an acceptance of the
directive of the National Working
Committee earlier communicated
to him to pursue the mandate in
accordance with established
democratic procedures and rules.”
“The PDP is totally committed to
democracy and electoral
processes as stipulated by the
constitution and laws of our land.
"This explains why we remained
steadfast to the processes
outlined for the Anambra
governorship election and the
reason for our earlier stand and
directive to our candidate and
members to participate in the
Supplementary Election as
directed by Independent Electoral
Commission,” Metuh added.
“As a party committed to
strengthening the institution of
democracy, we believe that due
process must be followed at all
times to allow the laws and
electoral rules run their full
courses without any interruption.
"It is in this regard that we
commend our candidate for
conforming with the ideals of our
great party in seeking redress at
the right time and through the
appropriate democratic channel,”
Metuh stated.
He expressed optimism justice
would prevail.
Meanwhile, Metuh urged the
people of Anambra state to resist
alleged violence by another
opposition, the All People’s
Congress (APC).
“(APC is) turning the state into a
theatre of violence and bloodshed
typical of desperate politicians and
bad losers who do not have the
interest of the people at heart,”
lashed Metuh.
