By Agency Reporter

Mr Fabian Onah, Coordinating Chairman, People Democratic Party (PDP) Local Government chairmen in Enugu North Senatorial District, says  the district didn't endorse Mr Chijioke Edoaga as governorship candidate on Tuesday.

Onah who is the Chairman of PDP in Nsukka Local Government Area said this in Nsukka on Thursday while briefing newsmen.

"PDP  delegates in the six local governments of Enugu North district didn't endorsed Edeoga as governorship candidate during  his visit to LG party offices
to tell party members his intention to contest for governorship in PDP primary.

"Deligates  in the district lacked the power to endorse Edoaga as candidate when party primary has not been conducted and other governorship aspirants will still come to tell party faithful of their intention to contest.

"That report in that section
of online platform media  is fake and calculated attempt to create confusion and disaffection in the party.

"The general public should disregard that  pupported endorsement as it's the hand of mischief makers to cause problem in Enugu State PDP that is one family and peaceful," he said.

Onah said he was addressing newsmen on the issue based on his capacity as Coordinating PDP chairmen in Enugu North district so as to put the the record straight.

"It's important to clarify this issue so that party faithful and leadership in  the Enugu State will know the correct thing that transpired during Edoaga visit on Tuesday.

"As party chairmen in the LGs we will continue to provide equal level playing ground for all aspirants before and during the primaries.

"Enugu State PDP unde the able leadership of Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is united, peaceful and will continue to live as one family no matter the efforts of mischief makers to create problems.

"Ugwuanyi is the party leader in Enugu State who carries everybody along and party members will continue to take directives and instructions from him.

"Some online media platforms should always cross check their facts before rushing for publication as there is no benefit in carrying fake news and over-heating the polity unnecessarily," he said

Onah said ónly PDP governorship primary in Enugu State would determine who would become the party candidate.PDP chairmen in Enugu North district say, delegates didn't endorse Edeoga as governorship candidate
