The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State has refuted claims that 16 serving Council Chairmen have been given the waiver to contest the Local Government Council elections in March 2021.

Debunking the insinuation, the State PDP Publicity Secretary, Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza stated that there is no truth in the claims as no waiver was given to any serving Chairman interested in second term. “No automatic tickets for serving Council Chairmen,” he declared.

He described as mischievous and a figment of the imagination of the writer of the fake news which eluded that automatic ticket has been given to 16 chairmen to contest.

“This is not true,” Osuoza stated, urging PDP members and other party faithful to ignore and discountenance the report.

Anyone interested in contesting the LGA Council elections must pass through the normal and approved regulations. There is no waiver for anyone and no automatic ticket for anyone, the PDP Delta State spokesman stated.
