_Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stakeholders in Oshimili South Local Government Area, Delta State, have expressed displeasure over the mismanagement of nomination forms for the forthcoming local government elections slated for October by the council’s party chairman.

The concerned stakeholders had protested, among other things, the alleged manipulation in the original list of the party executives, alleging that some names were swapped.

The over 500 stakeholders, who met in Oshimili, had earlier staged a protest at the palace of the Asagba of Asaba, condemning what they called the fictitious approach adopted by the council chairman, which they said was a bid to disenfranchise some party members.

They also condemned the partial distribution of nomination forms by the Oshimili South PDP chairman, which they claim has led to some aspirants being denied their rights and privileges.

They also demanded that the PDP Chairman in the council should present to the stakeholders, the minutes of the meeting where the caucus of the party agreed to buy nomination forms for select candidates.

They alleged that the PDP in the area usurped the powers, which should have been a collective responsibility of duly elected executive members of the party, insisting that the action smacks of the totalitarian and unilateral inclination of the incumbent party chairman, who has consistently run the party as a one man-show.
