The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh,
has declared that he will not be contesting for any position in the forthcoming PDP
Convention, holding in Port-Harcourt, Rivers on May 21.
He disclosed this via a statement.
"As Nigerians are aware, my party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is preparing for a
National Convention where national officers who will pilot its affairs in the next four years
are expected to emerge.
As one of the founding members of this party, the longest serving member of the National
Executive Committee (NEC) and currently a critical player in the party, my supporters and
admirers expect me to contest and this has spurred speculations in the media.
"However, I wish to state publicly that I have no ambitions to continue as a member of the
National Working Committee after the expiration of my current tenure as the National
Publicity Secretary, a decision that is enjoying the support of my family.
"I therefore with every sense of responsibility confirm to all members of our great party
that I will not run for any position whatsoever in the forthcoming National Convention
irrespective of which office may be zoned to the south east for that matter.
"What is paramount in my mind at this point is to continue to lift the image of our great
party during the remaining part of my tenure as the image-maker of the PDP, a position,
which by the grace of God, I have been able to dutifully deliver to the best of my ability
despite daunting challenges.
"Finally, I wish to assure all my associates and supporters that my love and commitment to
the party remains unshaken, especially as we work together to build not only a strong and
virile party but also a prosperous, united and stable nation".
