Guber Primaries : Maku Gives PDP One Week Ultimatum, Vows to Pursue Ambition

Mr Labaran Maku, a former Minister of Information, has given the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) one week to correct anomalies in the party’s governorship primary in the state.

Maku gave the warning on Saturday while addressing youths in Wakama Villege of Nasarawa-Eggon Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

He said that he had already written a petition to the appeal panel set up by the national headquarters of the party challenging the outcome of the primaries.
He mentioned the irregularities that occurred during the primary to include shortchanging of delegates names in many LGAs, intimidation and threatening of delegates, among others.

According to him, the fraud committed in the recent PDP governorship primaries in the Nasarawa state is worse than the one committed at party’s primaries in the state in 2007.

He said that he would take a decision and seek for peoples mandate directly if steps were not taken to correct these anomalies in the next one week.

“Since they think they can shortchange the names of delegates and intimidate them, we will see how they can shortchange and intimidate the members of the public,” he said.

He vowed to move on with his ambition to contest the governorship seat of the state in 2015 and advised all those who thought they could deny the state of good leaders to have a rethink.

He said that no amount of intimidation from any group would stop him from becoming the governor of the state in 2015.

“It is the people of the state that called me to contest for governorship seat in order to rescue them and bring peace to the state, and I have answered their calls.

“But what went on in the primaries of our party the PDP, was uncalled for and everybody is aware of that.

“I want to tell you that there is no going back on my gubernatorial ambition come 2015.

“Those who are thinking that my political ambition is stunted should start having a rethink, my 2015 governorship ambition is still on course.

“I want to call on you to continue to support me and vote for me during the 2015 general election.
