We don’t want political immigrants in PPA — National Chairman

Godwin Ezeemo

The Progressive Peoples Alliance, PPA, has fixed July 22, 2017 for the conduct of its party primaries to pick its candidate but stressed that it does not want political immigrants in the contest.

The National Chairman of the party, Comrade Peter Ameh, disclosed this when a governorship aspirant under the party, Chief Godwin Ezeemo called at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja to pick nomination and expression of interest forms.

Ezeemo, at the occasion promised to abolish street trading through the provision of free education from the primary school level to Junior Secondary School level if voted into power.

Comrade Ameh, who was optimistic of the party’s bright chances in the election, said the November 18 governorship election would not be the first election to be won by the party, since it has won in similar elections in Abia and Imo States.

The national chairman while declaring that the party abhors political migrants described Ezeemo as a consistent party man; who has laboured seriously to nurse and nourish the party with his resources and wealth of experience.

According to Ameh, “First and foremost like I told you we are working on a system that people must participate in party, people don’t just jump ships and say they are going to contest.

“He (Ezeemo) has shown faith to the course of our party. We belong to one party, we have one mission, one agenda and we have one understanding and that understanding is based on the fact that time has come for us to do things differently.

“Time has come for Nigeria to change and change for the better, not change in a retrogressive aspect, change that will affect the life of the people positively and that is why we didn’t look at the party system of conducting party primaries in Nigeria.
