Niger Delta Youths for Jonathan (NDY4J) yesterday said nothing will stop them from purchasing presidential nomination forms of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for President Goodluck Jonathan.
They had come last week to purchase the forms for the president but, according to them, were asked by the party to write a letter to the party to that effect – which they did.
However, the national publicity secretary of the PDP, Chief Oliseh Metuh, said the party was not aware of any group that sought to purchase the nomination and expression of interest form for the president.
But chairman of the group’s Board of Trustees (BoT), Mr. Benjamin Egbunike, told journalists in Abuja yesterday that they decided to return to the party’s head office to purchase the form.
He recalled that last Wednesday, they had submitted a letter to the PDP national chairman, asking to be allowed to purchase the forms but were yet to receive any response.
“We came here again today (yesterday) to present him a reminder that we shall be here on Tuesday, next week unfailingly to purchase the forms,” Egbunike asserted.
“Last week, we came with the cash. We shall come here with the money since they have blocked us from getting the banks to procure forms for him. We are serious about this matter and I can confirm to you that, as stakeholders in PDP, this is not the first time we are showing interest in the affairs of the party. We will not leave her if the party does not give the necessary instructions to the banks to accept our money to purchase the forms at the bank.”
