The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has launched an investigation into an attack on the Chairman of the Pacesetters Transport Services, Dare Adeleke and some members of the party from Cross River State at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja.

OYOINSIGHT had earlier reported how Akande, an ally of Governor Seyi Makinde was attacked when he went to pick up his appointment letter as the Secretary of the Screening Committee for the Cross River North Senatorial and Obudu II Assembly byes-elections.

Chairman of the committee, whose assignment is scheduled for Tuesday, August 25, 2020, is Hon. Taleb Tebite, while other members include Mr Chuks Akwuti, Hon. Mrs Shemite Bello and Mr Festus Ifeanyi.

However, the party has activated its internal security machinery to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident with a view to bringing perpetrators to book.

According to Tribune, Adeleke’s attackers alleged that the substitutions of their favoured candidates were done under the interference of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.

They, therefore, vowed not to accept the committee until the names of the candidates are restored.

However, party sources dismissed their claim telling the Tribune Online on Tuesday in Abuja that election candidates cannot exist where primaries have not been conducted.

“Candidates can only emerge after the election of three as-hoc delegates who will then vote in the primaries. How can they be talking of candidates where there as not been three ad-hoc delegates?” A top PDP source queried.

When contacted, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, confirmed that the party is investigating the matter.
