The South-East PDP spokesman, Dr Chijioke Ekwegh also
debunked reports that South-Governors have dumped the party’s
presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The South-East chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
dismissed reports saying that the Deputy Senate President, Ike
Ekweremadu is working for President Buhari.
According to Daily Post, the spokesman of the PDP in the zone, Dr Chijioke Ekwegh also said that South-East Governors have not dumped the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Ekwegh also condemned Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) for trying to spread false news.
BMO had earlier issued a statement saying that Ekweremadu and Governors in the South-East are campaigning for Buhari.
“The attention of the South-East zone of
the PDP has been drawn to amateurish propaganda by the Buhari Media
Organisation, a pro-All Progressives Congress group, wherein it claimed
that Ike Ekweremadu and South-East PDP governors of PDP were working for
APC’s victory in the 2019 presidential election.
“The fact that it came from the BMO
clearly shows that it is a lie from the pit of hell meant to divide and
disorganise the PDP ahead of the general elections.
“This
misadventure by the BMO has, however, helped to expose the source of
the lingering attempt to run down our party leaders in the zone, incite
the people against them, and create bad blood among Ndigbo. Although we
are in an election season, such extreme propaganda and mind games can’t
be tolerated.
“The PDP remains one big family and every attempt, such as this, to play on our intelligence cannot stand,” Ekwegh said.
