The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has refuted media reports suggesting that its Selection Committee has settled for Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike as the party’s vice-presidential candidate.
The National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, dismissed the report while speaking with newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja,
He stated that the National Working Committee was currently looking into the matter and consulting, in order to consider the best vice presidential candidate for the party in the 2023 elections.
His words, “We have a process as a party, because we are organic. We follow through the processes. We recognize the importance of participatory democracy, ensuring that every stakeholder and organ of the party is involved in our decision-making process,”
“This is the beginning of the process, consideration and advisory body need to get to the level where, in consultation with the presidential candidate, they will deliberate on who is most suitable. That process is ongoing, so any report of a particular candidate at this point is probably premature.
“We do our things in processes, the process doesn’t just come like you press a computer and get an answer. We follow the process, because human elements are involved, with interests and concerns. We have considered all interests of the country, particularly in terms of unity and capacity”, he noted.
