The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a stern warning to all support groups and volunteers campaigning for its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to abide by the party’s rules and regulations in all their activities ahead of the 2019 general elections.
The party said its admonition was predicated on “the reported objectionable activities by a group operating as PDP Global Ambassadors World-Wide, who had engaged in soliciting for unauthorized levies and fees for collection of forms for elections into its purported vacant executive positions.”
The opposition party said the group does not have it’s approval to receive fund from anybody or conduct its affairs in such a manner as to be seen as competing with the dictates and operations of the party.
“While we understand that due to the popularity of our candidate, Nigerians are very eager to participate in our campaigns, however, such participation must be done within the ambit of due process as authorized by the party leadership,” the party said.
The PDP, however, directed “all genuine support and volunteer groups” interested in participating in its presidential campaign to register with the party and ensure that all their activities were streamlined under its supervision.
