We Have Not Reached Any Agreement With Goodluck On 2015 Re Election..New PDP

The New PDP yesterday through its National Publicity Secretary  , Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, said  it had not entered into  any  deal  with  Jonathan.

It said there was no iota of truth in the claim by Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State that  the aggrieved  governors had agreed that the President  could run in 2015.

The statement reads in part,   “The  Baraje-led PDP  wishes to advise Nigerians to ignore the tissue of lies and propaganda from the Alhaji Tukur faction of the party on the outcome of our meeting with President  Jonathan at the Presidential Villa last September 15, 2013.

“We have read various misleading accounts of what transpired at that meeting between our governors -Kwankwaso, Wamakko, Amaechi,   Aliyu, Nyako,  Ahmed and  Lamido – and President Jonathan on how to resolve the self-inflicted crisis in our party.

“Akpabio lied by claiming that we have accepted that President Jonathan should contest the 2015 presidential election and that most of our demands were  being met.

“The fact  is that no agreement has been reached on any of the issues we tabled before the President and until we see results, Nigerians should ignore the present efforts by the Tukur camp to deceive them.”

It  insisted that the   Tukur faction  was not interested in bringing back peace to the troubled party.

The group argued that the inauguration of a caretaker committee for the party in Kano State few hours after  the Sunday showed  Tukur’s disdain for peace.

It alleged that the inauguration  was done without recourse to either Kwakwanso  or other stakeholders of the PDP in  the state.
