Give us our money back, failed aspirants tell PDP

Published

on

A group of aggrieved politicians in Adamawa State under the aegis of PDP Aggrieved Aspirants Forum say they want a refund of the money they paid for the party’s nomination form for the April governorship election.

Chairman of the group, Liazaru Aliada-Gugu, who spoke with newsmen in Yola, the state’s capital on Thursday threatened to drag the party to court if their money is not returned.

He said,

“We the aggrieved PDP aspirants bought forms to contest the primary election and since they did not conduct any primary election, it is only natural for them to return our money. We have made our request known to the leadership of our party both at the state and national level.

“They have promised to address the issue but up till now they have not done anything. When we met the national leader of the party and the national chairman of the party, they agreed to do something about us and we were satisfied with that meeting.

“But after several weeks of waiting without response we are left with no other option than to take our case to court.” he said.

    Now, that proves most of us right…that sheer presence rules when the horde come promising to better our lives. It’s about earning returns on their investments. True?
