Breaking News: PDP Re-strategizes against Ngige as Minister for Aviation charges Traditional rulers on free and fair election

Minister for Aviation, Chief Osita Chidioka yesterday led other Peoples Democratic Party Chieftains including Chief Olisah Metu, the National Publicity Secretary of PDP in a strategic meeting with Goodluck/Sambo support groups to ensure nothing funny happens during the Presidential election.

They mobilized for house to house campaign for people in the state to collect their PVC’s before the deadline to enable them vote and vote wisely even as they urged the electorate to vote for President Jonathan. 

They addressed traditional rulers in Anambra Central senatorial zone appealing to them to ensure peaceful election in the zone.

Chidioka who addressed them at the palace of the traditional ruler of Obosi Igwe Iweka, said Anambra is not known for violence during elections and they should do everything possible to ensure the peace is sustained and elections done peacefully.

The Aviation minister assisted their involvement in appealing and encouraging their subjects to collect their permanent voters cards since it would not be at the interest of Ndigbo and Anambra people  not to return President Goodluck Jonathan back.

Responding on behalf of other traditional rulers, the traditional ruler of Abacha, Idemmili North local government area, Igwe Godwin Mbakwe assured that they will ensure a peaceful  election devoid of war and crisis is conducted by constant talking to their subject on the need to shun violence.

Igwe Mbakwe thanked Chief Osita Chidioka for the forum and urged him to make it more regular even as he insisted that since INEC uses the assistance of the traditional rulers in the North to distribute the PVC’s , there is nothing wrong for the services of  the Monarchs in South-East not to be used in the same direction.

The PDP Publicity secretary , Chief Oliseh Metuh assured that President Goodluck Jonathan would win the 2015 General elction anytime it is conducted hence they are doing everything possible to ensure the Permanent voters cards are collected and people actually use them to re-elect Mr President.  

Meanwhile , the Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) , Chief  Victor Umeh said the shift was not expected, lamented the financial burden the shift in the election date would have on it candidates but said his party welcomes the development as it would help allow INEC time to distribute Permanent Voters Card as well as resolve security challenges in the North East zone of Nigeria.
