The party’s FCT Publicity Secretary, Josephine Itoyah-Splendor, made this known in a statement issued on Sunday.
According to her, all PDP candidates are fully qualified and have been duly recognised by the party’s national leadership as well as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

This comes against the backdrop of ongoing internal wranglings within the party, including disputes involving a faction linked to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and other party stakeholders.
“Our candidates, men and women of proven integrity and commitment, have been duly approved and signed in by the Damagum-led National Working Committee,” the statement said.
The opposition party further explained that it is entering the polls united and confident of victory, dismissing reports questioning the eligibility of its candidates as misinformation.
