The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has refuted reports that Governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada was kept waiting for hours during his visit to the national secretariat on Thursday.
Olisa Metuh, National Publicity Secretary of the party in a statement on Saturday described the story as “totally false and mischievous”.
“The fact is that Governor Wada arrived the national secretariat some minutes ahead of the Acting National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus and was with members of the National Working Committee (NWC) before the arrival of the Acting National Chairman,” he explained.
“Soon after, the governor and his entourage met with the Acting National Chairman and had very useful discussions. The governor threw more light on the congresses held in his state and the composition of the state local organizing committee. The National Working Committee, at the end of the meeting resolved to look into the issues raised and take appropriate decision on them.
“The National Working Committee assures that it holds Governor Idris Wada in very high esteem as the leader of our great party in Kogi state, a humble and brilliant administrator who has continued to discharge his duties with great candour and commitment.”
However, the National Working Committee said for emphasis that it is strictly focused on ensuring a transparent and all-inclusive process that would guarantee a level playing ground for all members of the party in the state in line with the PDP constitution.
The statement urged the media to ensure that they always crosscheck their facts before going to press.
