The Lagos state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has commended the National Assembly for accepting E-voting in the new amendment of the Electoral Act.
The state chairman of the party, Moshood Salvador, who made this commendation during a chat with our correspondent at the party secretariat, at Shogunle, said that the amendment would restrict state electoral commission from conducting local government elections without providing a level playing ground.
According to Salvador, the new electoral amendment is cheering news to those who are aspiring to contest the forth coming local government election and the 2019 general elections in the country.
He assured that the party structure at the councils level is now fully in place.
Speaking on the crisis rocking the leadership of the party at the national level, Salvador insisted on its support for the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee, adding that the party was working as one in the state.
His words,“The entire party structures in the state including our leader, Chief Bode George are solidly behind Ahmed Makarfi, who was appointed as caretaker chairman of the party in Port Harcourt last year.”
