Spokesperson of the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr Charles Aniagwu, yesterday said the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa enjoy massive support across the six geo-political zones in the country.
Aniagwu who spoke on “This Morning” on TVC, said that it was not true that the party’s constitution has been violated and challenged the media to study the provisions of the party’s constitution as regards the issue of zoning.
He said the PDP was not comfortable with any change in the party leadership at the moment because of the ripple effect it would have on it going into the general elections.
According to him, the support for Atiku Abubakar and Governor Okowa, his running mate cuts across the 36 states of the Federation and the FCT.
“Its not something that is lopsided, its a united front that we are pushing together for the good of all Nigerians.
“In a democracy you don’t gag individuals on how they should express their views even though we have internal mechanisms to handle some of these wrangling and those mechanisms are being triggered.
“We are quite comfortable that in the course of time everybody will come to acknowledge that there are processes in a political party particularly when the issues are internal,” he said.
Aniagwu who is also Delta State Commissioner for Information averred that the party was following the provisions of its constitution in handling the issues assuring that the party would come out of the challenges stronger.
“I can tell you for sure that the PDP constitution has not been violated in any form or manner and I would be glad if my colleagues in the media decide to take a look at the provisions of the constitution of the PDP.
“You will discover that nobody in the course of this dispensation had offended the provisions of the party’s constitution,” he stated.
