PDP national caucus rejects Edo Governorship election result

The enlarged National Caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the Edo State Gubernatorial election outcome, describing it as a "charade"

The meeting was held yesterday, October 5th at the Shehu Musa Yar'Adua Center, Abuja, under the Chairmanship of the National Chairman, Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi.

A statement by the party spokesperson, Chinwe Nnorom, said the meeting briefed the National Caucus on the status of the Party and the ongoing reconciliation process.

"The National Caucus frowned at the brazen display of avarice and desperation against the Edo electorates and democracy on September 28 and 29, 2016 by the ruling APC in collaboration with INEC and security agencies all in the name of Governorship Election. Consequently, the Meeting unanimously rejected the outcome of the charade that took place in Edo State.

"Finally, the National Caucus calls on all our Party members nationwide and in Edo State in particular to remain calm and resilient in the face of this daylight robbery of their mandate to our Candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu. We believe that justice will be served."

The meeting was attended with the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, CON, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator Walid Jubrin, Principal Officers of the National Assembly, Governors of Ondo, Taraba, Bayelsa, Gombe, other members of the National Caretaker Committee, National Vice Chairmen, former Governors, former Ministers, other members of BoT and other members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) were in attendance.
