Metuh: ‘I am not contesting for any position In PDP’

The national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh has dismissed rumours that he will contest for a post in PDP’s National Executive Committee (NEC) come May 21 at the party’s national convention. Speaking via a statement made available to our reporter, he said: 

“As one of the founding members of this party, the longest serving member of the National Executive Committee (NEC) and currently a critical player in the party, my supporters and admirers expect me to contest and this has spurred speculations in the media.”

“However, I wish to state publicly that I have no ambitions to continue as a member of the National Working Committee after the expiration of my current tenure as the National Publicity Secretary, a decision that is enjoying the support of my family.”

 Metuh said what is paramount in his mind at this point is to continue to lift the image of the party during the remaining part of his tenure as the image-maker of the PDP, a position, he said is by the grace of God. Concluding, he assured his associates and supporters “that my love and commitment to the party remains unshaken, especially as we work together to build not only a strong and virile party but also a prosperous, united and stable nation.”
