The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has constituted an appeal panel to consider appeals arising from the conduct of ward congresses in Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo. The party will hear the appeals on Tuesday.
Its national organising secretary, Umar Bature, stated in Abuja on Monday that the party’s National Working Committee approved the appointment of Idris Umar as chairman of the panel.
He listed Lilian Dizo as a member and Friday Itula as a secretary.
Mr Bature added that the appeals would be heard Tuesday at the Wadata Plaza, PDP’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Meanwhile, elders of the Kogi State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have called on the party’s national leadership to jettison alleged plot to manipulate original delegates’ list from 21 Local Government Areas of the State.
In a statement signed Monday by its spokesperson, Alhaji Ibrahim Dansofo, the group said “there is ongoing plot to impose Dino Melaye, a spokesperson to Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council on the State”.
The development, according to the group, is to “deprive other nine aspirants the opportunity for fair primary election”.
“The authentic list of delegates is being altered to allow Senator Dino Melaye to have his way,” the group alleged.
The group also threatened to leave the party massively and empty the party as a payback for what it describes as “betrayal”.
The group, however, asked Atiku to allow the authentic delegates list from the Stat e to stand.
