Former Vice President of the Senate and Enugu governorship candidate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has called on the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the province to ensure a transparent and credible process come 2023.
Ekweremadu said that was very important in ensuring that celebrities get out of the program.
Senator spoke in Enugu on Tuesday during a consultation with the leadership of the Enugu State PDP.
He noted that the decisions made by the delegates in the selection of candidates will not only have a significant impact on the party’s financial performance in the national elections, but also on the level of post-election governance.
“I am here essentially to solicit votes because all members of the party’s State executive are statutory delegates, starting from the House of Assembly to the National Assembly, and ultimately the gubernatorial primaries.
“I am also here to further advise them to ensure a free and fair process. I would love to see everybody at the end say that our delegates and primary elections were free and fair. That is the only way we can ensure justice, equity, and peace.
“I am looking forward to a process that will be very transparent and productive so that we can all go to the election after the primary as one strong house, undivided.
“I am equally calling on all stakeholders and aspirants to various offices to toe the path of sportsmanship and democratic ideals of the PDP. That way, the PDP will emerge stronger”.
Earlier, the Chairman of the State Government of the party, Hon. Augustine Nnamani commended the Senator for his contributions to what the PDP is today at the State and national levels, adding that the lawyer had always shown good faith.
Nnamani and other speakers also assured the party that it will ensure a free, fair, honest and transparent process.
