It is solely the decision and rights of the PDP delegates to choice or elect the flagbearer of the party, therefore, the purported DC-23 Screening Committee final report is immaterial.”

Eyube pointed that Chief James Augoye, is contesting the governorship on the platform of the PDP, adding that his ( Augoye) rejection of the DC-23 final report is commendable and supported by Augoye’s supporters across the state.

According to Eyube, ”If political parties and candidates who subscribes to INEC’s guidelines can still rejects elections conducted by same INEC. Then, Chief James Augoye is right to reject a non registered DC-23 Screening Committee final report.”
