The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto State has reached consensus in 17 out of the 23 local governments in the state assembly primary elections.
The State Chairman of the party, Alhaji Ibrahim Milgoma disclosed this when he addressed newsmen on the exercise in Sokoto on Saturday.
“The party will only conduct the primary elections in Dange/Shuni, Sokoto south, Sokoto north, Gwadabawa, Bodinga and Tambuwal local governments.
“Efforts are on to reach consensus even in these local governments before the day runs out”, Milgoma added.
He said the party had given all its bona fide members a level-playing ground to contest, so as not to disenfranchise any person.
Milgoma stressed that employing the consensus system had reduced a myriad of intra-party squabbles.
The chairman said that the primary elections will be conducted across the 23 local governments to ”ratify and approve the consensus reached.”
He appealed to the members of the party and the aspirants to maintain orderliness and continue to be loyal and disciplined.
Milgoma also stated that the consensus arrangement was being mulled for the national assembly and gubernatorial primary elections of the party.
”We are optimistic that the PDP will emerge victorious in the general polls in 2015 and President Goodluck Jonathan is capable of steering the nation to greater heights.
”The President has delivered to Nigerians and he is striving hard to redress all the current challenges plaguing Nigeria, including insecurity, and these challenges are not peculiar to Nigeria”, Milgoma, averred.
