Godsday Orubebe
Ex-minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, has been given the nod by the Peoples Democratic Party to contest the party’s governorship primary in Delta State.
The Ambassador Obed Wadzani-led South-South zonal screening committee of the PDP gave the former minister the clearance after the screening in Port Harcourt, on Saturday.
The party congress is scheduled to hold on December 7 and 8, 2014.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Orubebe Governorship Campaign Orgainsation in Abuja, on Sunday.
Meanwhile, following the cancellation of the November 1, 2014 ward congresses of the PDP in Lagos, the state chapter of the party says it will hold its ward congresses on Monday (today).
The party, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Taofik Gani, said the congresses would take place from 12pm across the 245 wards in the state.
He said, “While the party wishes its members a happy congress, it is also quick to admonish its members to participate in the process as law-abiding citizens and loyal members of the PDP. It warns detractors and opposition-sponsored thugs to steer clear of the congress venues as any intruder or agent provocateur shall be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the land.”
