The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has denied reports making the rounds that Governor, Nyesom Wike has been picked as the vice-presidential candidate of the party.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the report is false and premature.
According to him, consultation is still ongoing to pick the best vice presidential candidate for the party.
He noted that the party has a process and they follow through the processes.
“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 said.
“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,” he added.
