ASABA—SCORES of politicians, especially those that contested the just concluded primaries on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have shifted the fight for supremacy to Abuja, following discordant tunes trailing the results of the primaries.

Some key politicians who spoke to Vanguard on phone from Abuja, yesterday, described the removal of former PDP chairman, Chief Okwesileze Nwodo as “good riddance to bad rubbish,” just as they confided in our reporter that they will not leave Abuja until they were assured of justice by ensuring that the actually winners of the primaries were finally adopted in Abuja.

There had been avalanche of petitions and rancour over the primaries.

One of the aspirants for the Delta North senatorial seat on the platform of PDP, Mr. Paschal Adigwe, who withdrew shortly before the commencement of the primaries had called on the leadership of the party in the state to allow the will of the people prevail,  adding that any attempt to truncate such was capable of diminishing the electoral fortunes of the party in the 2011 general elections.

Addressing newsmen in Asaba, Adigwe said that “anybody representing the people should be chosen among the people, wear the character and characteristics of the people and be a mirror through which the people would be seen.”

On his part, a former Commissioner Dr. Nnamdi  Onochie in a petition to the National Chairman of PDP in Abuja called for the cancellation of the House of Representatives’ primaries for Aniocha/Oshimili Federal constituency, which he participated.

He stated that that there was “non disclosure of delegates list for the verification and information of aspirants of those who are delegates, multiple voting by delegates  and threats to delegates that they will  lose their ward executive positions if they did not vote as directed by the State PDP officials/bosses”.
