Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State, Hon. Aaron Chukwuemeka has denied reports that National Chairman of the PDP, Umar Damagum is loyal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Chukwuemeka, during an interview on NigrInfo on Monday, said Damagum cannot be loyal to Wike as his office is bigger than that of a Minister, adding that it is Wike who is loyal to him.
He also debunked claims that the congresses were rigged in his favor after the FCT Minister bought over members of the National Working Committee.
“I bought my form, I contested, and I won.
The PDP Secretariat was open for the sale of forms. Those who purchased forms contested their elections and won.
Several attempts have been made and will still be made to bring peace to PDP in the state.
“The Governor knows my capacity. He knows. I’m not exaggerating.
On Friday 13th September,2024, All 17 Members of the National Working Committee approved my election and okayed the Electioneering process that led to my Emergence.
They passed a vote of confidence on the report from Electoral committee, INEC and security Agencies
3,071 delegates voted for me
The people that voted for me are not from my Family
They are not from my Village
They were all delegates
They were all statutory and adhoc Delegates
17/17 voted for me
Ambassador Desmond Akawor is my former boss. Wherever I see him, I stand up say, oga you’re welcome. Whenever I need advice, I meet him.
You cannot do it alone. No one does it alone.
We do not have a President, The Acting National Chairman of the PDP is like our President, So the Minister is Loyal to him.
Those who are asking these questions do not have party cards and are not members of our party. How can you stay outside and be talking?.
