DPP holds primary May 10

The National Chairman of the Democratic Peoples’ Party (DPP), Mr Garshon Benson, said the party would hold its primary for the Ekiti governorship election on May 10 .

Benson told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that the party was seriously preparing for the primary and that it would be credible.

He said the DPP would ensure that a formidable candidate emerges as its flag bearer for the July 14 governorship poll.

He said that three aspirants had already indicated interest to contest for the governorship seat under the party.

He said: “We are confident that INEC will do a good job by creating enabling environment and a level-playing ground for all political parties and their candidates to participate in the poll.

“We believe we are going to give a proper account of ourselves in Ekiti when the time comes.

“All the three aspirants that have declared their intension so far are popular and they are sons of the state.

“It is the delegates that will decide who will be the party’s flag bearer.”

Benson, however, advised those that are yet to register in the ongoing nationwide continuous voter registration to do so.

He added: “We encourage anybody that is 18 years and above that had not registered to go and register and get his or her PVC.

“It is with your PVCs that you can determine the fate of any government. You can vote in or vote out any government.”
