The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has set up a committee to screen members aspiring to contest the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra State.
A date has also been fixed for the screening exercise, the party’s National Organising Secretary, Colonel Austin Akobundu, announced in a statement on Saturday, April 10, 2021.
He explained that the party nominated members of the committee to screen the aspirants, and the PDP National Working Committee, NWC, had given its consent.
The five-man committee is chaired by Captain Idris Wada – a former governor of Kogi State.
Other members of the screening committee are Senator Ehigie Uzamere, Martha Bodunrin, Jones Onyereri, and James Ugwu who is the secretary, as well as the zonal secretary of the PDP in the South East.
According to the main opposition party, the screening exercise is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday next week by 9am at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
“It is expected that the aspirants will exercise exemplary conduct and strict adherence to rules and regulations during the assessment that will justify the confidence reposed in them by the leadership of our party,” the statement said.
