Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Following the bye-election for the Akure South\/North Federal Constituency in Ondo State scheduled for February 26, 2022, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will on Thursday elect its standard-bearer for the poll.<\/p>\n

With 249 delegates within the two local government areas expected to vote at the primary, five aspirants have been screened and cleared by the party to contest for the ticket.<\/p>\n

According to the Publicity Secretary of the PDP in the State, Kennedy Peretei, none among the aspirants had signalled intention to withdraw from the race.<\/p>\n

While assuring that the exercise will be seamless and peaceful, Peretei expressed optimism that the PDP will coast home to victory in the election.<\/p>\n

The PDP spokesperson, who emphasised Akure is regarded as the stronghold of PDP in the State, disclosed that the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party had approved a five-man Electoral Committee, under the Chairmanship of Dr. Amos Fawole to conduct the primary election.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll arrangements have been put in place to ensure a hitch-free, transparent, credible, free and fair primaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge all delegates to conduct themselves in an orderly manner, vote and leave the venue of the primaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the five aspirants in the contest, it must be understood that, this is a family affair. There shall be no victor nor vanquished in this race.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody shall be a winner, bearing in mind that the earlier occupier of the office was a PDP man. No sacrifice is too much to ensure that the PDP retains the seat at the Green Chamber.\u201d<\/p>\n

The seat of the Akure South\/North Federal Constituency became vacant in the National Assembly following the death of the lawmaker representing the constituency, late Hon Adedayo Omolafe of the PDP in August, 2021.<\/p>\n
