SenateThe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has neither fielded a candidate nor endorsed the candidacy of any contestant for the Senate Presidency.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, told journalists in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, that the party was not the source of some reports making the rounds that it had adopted a candidate for the Senate Presidency.

Mr Metuh also decried an alleged threat from Senators of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) to their colleagues to either support their candidature or be persecuted.

Similarly, at the Lower Chamber, one of the lawmakers contesting for the position of Speaker of the 8th House of Representatives from Kano State, Honourable Abdulmumin Jibrin, has dropped his ambition to support the candidature of Honourable Yakubu Dogara.

With this move, only two legislators would be contesting for the position of the Speaker, Honourable Yakubu Dogara from Bauchi State and Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila from Lagos State.
