By Simeon OSAJIE
The Director-General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Council for the September 21st governorship election in Edo State, Matthew Iduoriyemkewen says PDP need people with credibility not disgruntled in the party.
Iduoriyemkewen made this statement today, 16th May, 2024 in Benin City, Edo State capital during a familiarization visit to the leadership and members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Edo State council, where he solicited for a partnership and cooperation from media practitioners.
According to former Majority Leader in the Edo State House of Assembly, the PDP is interested in persons of credibility, adding that those that are in the party are resources to the party and that many persons are still coming.
“Most of the people moving out of the PDP have become disgruntled, and they feel they must have it all. I don’t know who gave them that kind of entitlement that PDP is theirs, and it must be theirs, and that when they need anything in PDP, and they don’t get it, nobody else can get it, and that the roof must be brought down.
“I can tell you that people we have in PDP are those that are quality to the party. Those that are assets to the party, we do not allow them to leave. More so, those that we are bringing into the party are those that will add value to the party. You will start seeing them very soon,” he said
Iduoriyemkewen, who said Edo needs persons with value and substance, stressed that his party candidates – Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie are the rights persons Edo needs to move to an enviable heights.
Further speaking on activities of the campaign council, the DG said the party campaign would be issue-based, adding that how to move Edo forward is his party concern and not frivolous issues.
“Our campaign would be issue-based. The campaign would be where we met Edo people and where we intend to take them to. Our campaign is going to be a realistic one, the steps we intend to take to solve the numerous challenges facing us.
“What we are going to be telling Edo people is the process of taking them from where we met them to where we are taking them to,” he said.
Responding, the State Chairman of NUJ, Comrade Festus Alenkhe, assured the DG and his team of members of the council unbiased, apolitical stance as far as politics is concerned in the state.
Comrade Alenkhe who said the union as a professional body frowned at fake news and unverified information, described the NUJ secretariat as a freedom ground where anyone can come to express his or mind on issues.
