The Peoples Democratic Party has denied allegations of forgery concerning its primary election guidelines, as reported by some media outlets.

In a statement issued on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP described the reports as misleading, alleging that they were instigated by disgruntled individuals acting as agents of the All Progressives Congress in an attempt to create a scandal and undermine the integrity of the PDP’s internal processes.

As the crisis within the PDP persists, two national newspapers (not The PUNCH) reported that some party leaders and officials were summoned by the police for questioning over alleged forgery of party documents.

Ologunagba clarified that the PDP’s primary election guidelines, as approved by the party, had not been altered in any way through forgery, contrary to the claims in the reports.

The statement partly read: “The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party has been drawn to sensational and misleading reports in a section of the media suggesting that its primary election guidelines have allegedly been compromised by forgery.

“The PDP states in clear and unequivocal terms that its primary election guidelines, as approved by the party, have not been compromised by forgery in any way, contrary to the claims being peddled in these reports.

“The PDP has, however, become aware that these misleading reports are the work of certain resentful individuals who, as agents of the All Progressives Congress, are desperately seeking ways to create a scandal, discredit the integrity of the PDP’s internal processes, and bring the party into public ridicule.
