GNI Asks General Public To Disregard Dimeji Bankole's Claims

Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka, has asked the good people of Ogun State and Nigerians to ignore anybody saying the PDP’s gubernatorial party primaries which took place last Monday, 8th of December, 2014 has been annulled. 

According to him he was rightly elected as delegates where present, the police, SSS, INEC all monitored it and has made their reports.

The PDP governorship candidate who was reacting to claims in the media by the former speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole that the governorship primary of the party in the state was yet to hold, argued in a statement in Abeokuta made available to PM News last night that the elections have already been verified and he is working towards winning the State, and not still dwelling on his victory at the polls. He also wants people to disregard the former speaker, who says he is also in the governorship race, and so the election is yet to hold.

The statement by Isiaka reads, “In the last few days, I have been inundated with many calls and messages from my friends, associates and party members who want to know the true position of the mandate that I hold as the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State for the 2015 general election.

“This has been as a result of some misleading reports in the public domain which are deliberate falsehood meant to denigrate the importance of this sacred mandate.

“The primary held on Monday 8th December 2014 followed all due process as follows: The authentic delegates list was used observers from the national secretariat of the PDP were present, the full complement of the Police and SSS monitored it and made their reports.

“More importantly, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) monitored and made its report. All of these in their own purview validated the primaries.

“All party faithful friends, associates, the general public and the media to disregard any information contrary to the above stated facts. We have moved beyond the primary and the task before us now is to work assiduously so that victory is achieved on February 28th 2015.

“I am the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP and that mandate is incontrovertible, legal and sacrosanct”.
