The pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, has reiterated its endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP. Peter Obi.
The group declared as sacrosanct its support for the Labour Party candidate.
Ken Robinson, the National Publicity Secretary of PANDEF, in a press statement issued in Abuja, insisted that the forum was solidly behind its endorsement of Obi
The statement was in response to an alleged rejection of the endorsement by a purported wing of the group.
Robinson stated that PANDEF had no “wings”, adding that it would not succumbed to distractions by the misbehaviour, but would keep boosting efforts in ensuring Obi’s victory at the upcoming presidential election.
He further called on the members of the public to ignore the rumoured rejection of Obi’s endorsement by the group.
According to PANDEF: “The attention of PANDEF has been drawn to certain gibberish in the media, regarding the forum’s endorsement of Obi, credited to a purported Youth Wing of the forum.
“PANDEF urges the public to disregard the reported rejection of Obi’s endorsement by the so-called youths.
“It is borne out of infantile musings.
“In the first place, PANDEF does not have “wings”.
“The forum maintains a consolidated framework at the national, state and local government levels.
“For the avoidance of doubt, PANDEF stands by the endorsement of Obi by our national leader, Clark, and the affirmation by SMBLF.
“Without equivocation, PANDEF’s endorsement of Obi is sacrosanct.
“PANDEF will not be distracted by the misdemeanor but would instead intensify efforts to ensure Obi’s victory in the Niger Delta region.
“The forum cautions youths in the region not to succumb to the antics of greedy politicians and shun all acts of violence before, during and after the forthcoming elections.”
