The People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State, has reacted to allegations by some persons claiming to be members of the party that they were not given nomination forms after making payments.
The aggrieved members, made the allegation, during a protest at the party’s Secretariat in Port Harcourt, today.
However, the party in a statement by Joy Oyaghiri Fagbemi said people who pay for forms are meant to collect them at the venue were they made payments.
According to her, those that were issued forms in Port Harcourt, bought the forms in Port Harcourt, adding that one cannot pay for form at a particular venue and receive it at a different venue.
Her statement reads,
The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Rivers State has been drawn to a protest lodged against the party by some persons claiming to be members of the party. They are alleging that they paid for forms for the State Assembly and were not issued the forms.
Let it be known that people that paid for various forms, are meant to AND did collect their forms at the venue/channel where they paid for the forms.Those that were issued forms in Port Harcourt are those that paid for their forms in Port Harcourt and some persons that purchased forms elsewhere, were issued forms in the places of purchase.
We want to believe that there is a misunderstanding in their complaint and hope this release will address such misunderstanding.Let it be known that the PDP Rivers State is united in its desire to retain power in the state come 2023 and therefore, will not be distracted.
Thank you.
Joy Oyaghiri-Fagbemi
