The chairman, People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Adamu Muazu has warned members of the House of Representatives that only deserving members will get to contest on the platform of the party in the 2015 general elections.

The Majority Leader of the House, Mulikat Akande-Adeola, had pleaded with the party to keep to its agreement of granting automatic party tickets to lawmakers to contest in the 2015 elections.

Representative Akande gave the reminder during the visit of the National Chairman of the party, PDP Governors Forum, led by its chairman, Godswill Akpabio and members of its National Working Committee, to a meeting with the PDP caucus in the House of Representatives.

The majority leader also added that the lawmakers would want their welfare taken care of and the opportunity to also nominate members of committees from their constituencies.

He said that automatic tickets were only given by parties that were undemocratic.

“We have a democratic process and we will go through that; those that deserve it will surely get it,” he said.

In attendance at the meeting were  Governors Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta, Liyel Imoke of Cross River, Ibrahim Shema of Katsina, Ramalan Yero of Kaduna and  Muazu Aliyu of Niger and Theodore Orji of Abia states.

Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko and his Anambra state counterpart, Peter Obi also made a brief appearance at the meeting.

The meeting which began at about 8pm yesterday, ended at 1am today.
