Jonathan advises PDP to review number of statutory delegates

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has

advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)

to review the number of statutory delegates

that take part in its primary elections.

Jonathan gave the advice when he received

a delegation of former Speakers of State

Houses of Assembly elected on the platform

of the PDP in his office in Abuja.

The former President said one of the major

challenges facing the PDP was how it elects

candidates and national officers of the party

noting that the process is not transparent

enough.

He says until the numbers of statutory

delegates to PDP elections were reviewed to

about seventy percent, there would always

be crisis in the outcome of the party’s

primaries or conventions.
