PDP NEG MEETING: NO EVIL DOERS WILL GO UNPUNISHED SAYS DOGARA.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara, in Abuja on Wednesday, said those who rigged during the 2019 general elections would not go unpunished.

He said the country was becoming “a bad reference point in bad behaviour” in the comity of nations.

Dogara spoke at the 85th Emergency National Executive Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party at the national secretariat of the party.

The Speaker, who won his reelection into the House of Representatives, called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct the Saturday’s supplementary elections with professionalism.

He said, “What has happened (the 2019 elections) is pure evil. Our consolation as members of this party is that no evil doer has ever escaped punishment.

“Elections are done all over the world. Elections are conducted in other Africa countries and at no time have we heard of these inconclusive elections.”

Also, the National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus said the PDP would win five out of the six states where supplementary elections would hold this Saturday.

He said, “We will appoint a committee to do postmortem on the elections, but this will be after the supplementary elections holding on Saturday.”

The party’s vice presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, said INEC had its problems, but added that those who should be blamed were those who directed the commission on what to do.

The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki commended members of the party for “remaining steadfast,” stressing that “what happened to the party at the polls was a tragedy for Nigeria as a country.” KYLEOIVREPORTING.
