The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as fake the election timetable being circulated in the social media, purported to have been signed and released by the National Organizing Secretary of the PDP, Hon. Umar M. Bature.
The timetable which the party described as fake, contained schedule of activities and timetable of the PDP for the 2023 general elections.
The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon Debo Olugunagba stated in clear terms that “it has not released any timetable or any schedule of activities whatsoever for the 2022/2023 electioneering year and no such document was signed and released by the National Organizing Secretary.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP is a Party of Due Process and will release a Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2022/2023 electioneering year after extensive consultation and approval by critical and statutory organs of the Party at appropriate levels.
“Clearly, the said Timetable and Schedule of Activities being circulated in the social media is the handiwork of mischievous elements who seeks to create confusion, mislead the public and distract our Party at this critical point in time”.
The PDP called on all members of the party and the general public to discountenance the said Timetable and Schedule of Activities saying that it did not emanate from the PDP.
“At the appropriate time, the official Timetable and Schedule of Activities of the PDP, when approved will be formally announced and published through the Official Communication Channels of our Party and not in the social media” Ologunagba stated.
The PDP further called on all members and Nigerians in general to remain focused and not allow themselves to be distracted in its determined mission to Rescue and Rebuild the nation from the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
