The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has denied reports that it has no candidate in Saturday’s gubernatorial election Ebonyi State.
In a statement on Tuesday in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the party said its candidate is still Ifeanyi Odii, saying it has not been changed or replaced.
Media reports indicated that Mr. Odii and his running mate, Igwe Nwagu, were missing from the list of governorship candidates posted on the INEC website.
The party condemned the report and asked its members “to ignore the misinformation and continue to support our Candidate, Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii as he marches to victory on Saturday.”

Our party appeals to our members and supporters who are in large numbers in Ebonyi State to ignore the misinformation and continue to support our Candidate, Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii as he marches to victory on Saturday.
