EX GOV WADA CALLS OUT DEJI ADEJAYAN,SAYS HE HASN'T ENDORSED ANYONE

A former Kogi State governor, Captain Idris Wada, has denied endorsing one Deji Adejayan as his candidate for the National Publicity Secretary of the party in its forthcoming national convention scheduled for Port Harcourt. In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by his Personal Assistant, Ibrahim Abdulkarim,Wada stated that, Kogi State PDP stakeholders have not yet said anything regarding any endorsement plans on anyone, "even though we are going to come together and select the best candidate with the required performing skills for the position."  It further read, "My attention has been drawn to a publication in Vanguard Newspapers claiming that I, Idris Wada endorsed Deji Adeyenju for the office of the National Publicity Secretary of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). It is indeed a situation I call unfortunate because that is not coming from me. As the leader of the party in Kogi state, it is my duty to see to it that we build a wall that can stand the test of time, and not moulding on a cracked wall."I want to first of all state clearly here that at no point did I ever endorse any one for such a highly esteemed office, knowing the gravity of what it takes to operate from such an office. I wouldn't have made such a monumental mistake knowing the kind of impression such will breed up."The above claim that I endorsed Deji Adeyanju, is rather unfortunate because our polity is becoming more intimidating where candidates decide to use the powers at their disposals to scare others off the race, but it is not supposed to be so." "As for Alhaji Ibrahim Idris (Ibro), the two-time Governor of Kogi State, he has never meet Deji Adeyanju for once and it is practically impossible for him to endorse a candidate he has never met. "I call on all the contestants to please conduct themselves and  avoid venturing into ways which are against the ethics of democracy because using someone's name to gain favour without such a person's consent is a crime, not only to that person but even before the eyes of the law.
