PDP Threatens To Arrest, Prosecute Impostors Who Sold Fake Nomination Forms During Party’s Primaries
The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has threatened to arrest and prosecute some unnamed individuals who reportedly forged and sold various fake nomination forms, during the party’s primaries and cornered the proceeds for their selfish gains.
This is coming as the party hinted that some yet to be revealed individuals have started submitting illegal names from the purported primaries conducted by the dissident elements, notably in Ogun State to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan disclosed this in a statement obtained by BigPen Online on Friday, after the party officially submitted names of candidates for National Assembly elections to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2019 general elections.
According to him, “The party notes with disdain moves by certain individuals to illegally submit authorized names from some purported primaries by dissident elements, notably in Ogun State.
“The PDP is aware that such elements forged and sold various fake nomination forms, and cornered the proceeds for their selfish gains.
“Those who unwittingly bought these fake nomination forms did not pass through the due process of screening and did not participate in primaries as officially conducted by the Electoral Committee set up by the National Working Committee.
“The conduct of primaries and submission of names of candidate remain in the purview of the National Working Committee. Any other purported primaries by any state chapter or any other level of the party is absolutely illegal and of no consequence.
“The PDP therefore warns, in the strongest possible term, that anybody who attempts to present any name from such illegal primaries as candidate of our party will face arrest and prosecution for forgery and stealing of funds derived from sale of fake nomination forms.
“Furthermore, the National Working Committee therefore urge all PDP members and the general public to be calm as the rule of Law shall be strictly adhered to, particularly in all processes in our participation in the 2019 general elections”.
