A factional chairman of the Kano State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Shehu Wada Sagagi, has said his group did not present flags to candidates of the party in the state as claimed in some quarters.
In a statement he personally signed in Kano yesterday, the chairman described the presentation of flags to the party’s candidates which reportedly took place at the weekend as a jamboree aimed at misguiding the members of the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Daily Trust reports that the leadership tussle in the party is still unresolved as the two factions; one, led by Bello Hayatu Gwarzo loyal to Aminu Wali, and the other led by Shehu Wada Sagagi accused of loyalty to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, are working at cross purposes.
Shehu Sagagi said all matters related to PDP candidates would be treated after the court judgment that is being expected today.

“At the moment, we cannot give flags to any of the two governorship candidates because they are in court waiting for judgment. As law-abiding citizens, we must wait for the outcome of the court judgment which is coming up tomorrow (today) before making any commitment to anyone concerning the issue at stake.
“I wish to confirm to all and sundry that we shall announce a date and time for official presentation of the party’s flags for all candidates of the PDP in due course, after the court’s judgment insha Allah, and we will do the needful within the confines of the law,” he said.
