As the 2015 general elections draw closer, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday restated its commitment to ensuring issue-based campaign that would be devoid of statements capable of inflaming passions and overheating the polity.
The party which explained that the move was for the pursuit of peace and unity, and to douse the tension the country is charged with, called on its elected and appointed officers to keep being prudent in the management of resources for the benefit of the people.
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, said their position is predicated on the party’s “irrevocable stand on the unity and stability of the nation as well as to protect its fragile democracy and ensure that a conducive atmosphere is maintained for national development and well-being of all citizens in keeping with its manifesto and visions of the founding fathers.
“As a highly responsible and foremost democratic political organisation in the country founded on strong ideological background and principle of social justice, commanding the largest following in the country, we cannot afford to allow a drift to politics of propaganda, insults and incendiary statements that threaten our democracy and corporate existence as a nation,” it added.
