Dr. Nwanne Ogbonna Stated this in a statement released on his social media handle on Monday.
“A lot has been devised and said on the issue of Voters leaning, and choosing to canvas and vote for individual candidates or persons instead of the political party or platform of the candidates”
According to him, “The new trend seems to be to preach and vote for the individual or person instead of the political party. In other words, their idea is to undermine the supremacy of the political party , to ensure that instead of the members of our party the PDP voting for all our candidates for each of the positions they can decide to pick and choose”
“For instance, a party man can choose to vote for a PDP candidate for the governorship position and for the senate or House of Representatives choose or vote for the APC, LP or the candidate of any of the other political parties – GOD FORBID !!!. ” He added.
The Incoming Lawmaker noted that , “It’s important to point out from the onset that our party the PDP parades the best and most qualified candidates for the various elective offices or positions. So much so that our worst candidate could very well pass for the best or even be better than the best of the other opposing political parties”
“But take it or leave it , the strength of our political party the PDP in elections since 1999 has always been in our membership and the public voting for our party the PDP and her logo ( the umbrella) . Therefore, the weak , ailing opposing political parties have suddenly devised a deceitful formula to outsmart the PDP which they have been trying to sell to the public as picking and choosing between candidates based on their personality irrespective of the political party fronting the candidate”
He advised PDP faithfuls to stick to their party “There must not be anything like voting Obi or LP and then voting the PDP candidates for the senate and House of Representatives. It must be voting for Atiku , then the PDP senatorial and House of Representatives candidates”.
“We must take this decision and strategy that has kept the PDP the winning party since 1999 seriously, preach same to the public and implement the same” Doc. added.
“Our campaigning voice for this our 5/5 strategy or formula , for the supremacy of the PDP over individual candidates and personality must drown and swallow-up their deceitful voices and strategies meant to undermine the PDP and our candidates”
“Again , apart from the above preference for the PDP and her emblem over the various individual candidates including those of the opposing political parties guaranteeing victory for the PDP and her candidates in the various elections , this is to the best interest and guarantees the greatest , maximized benefits -political and otherwise for our voters and the entire PDP membership”
