ASABA—THE leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State has advised party faithful to remain committed to the party and shun activities capable of bringing shame to the party.

The state Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Deinghan Ray-Macaulay, who spoke in Asaba, said that any party member involved in anti-party activity would be sanctioned.

Ray-Macaulay said that the party was not in alliance with any political party, warning against claims that some of the candidates contesting the forthcoming general elections on other political platforms were sponsored by PDP.

He said that the PDP, which he described as the largest political party in Africa, could not sponsor a candidate against its own candidate for any election.

He noted that the party was big enough to accommodate its members and charged all followers to redouble efforts to ensure the victory of all the party’s candidates in the forthcoming elections.

Ray-Macaulay reminded party faithful of the need to go about campaigns for the party candidates peacefully and reassured the people of the resolve of the party to provide all with more dividends of democracy.

He urged those who have not collected their Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs to take the advantage of the extension of the collection period by Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to do so.
