The Delta State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olorogun Kingsley Esiso, on Sunday said the party leaders will pick suitable candidates amongst aspirants as against going for primaries in the forthcoming local government elections in the state.

Esiso disclosed this while addressing Sapele Local Government PDP executive and party members who were at the Sapele Council Secretariat to welcome the state excos on their thank you visit.

Adding: “Soon the tenure of the present chairman and councillor will soon be a thing of the past and I am aware that some aspirants are gunning to be candidate of the party, and we have decided to guide the system. For your information, the chairmanship form is two million naira, councillor is three hundred and fifty naira, we are selling form for only one aspirant. We have one form for one local government chairman and one form for one Councilor.

“it’s your right to aspire and nobody can fault you for aspiring, everybody has a right to aspire, we cannot have two chairmen or two councillors at the same time. If you are aspiring, check yourself, do what I call political analysis of the environment. If you know you scored less than fifty person, don’t waste your money.
