The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has mandated its members in the National Assembly to commence the process of amending the nation’s electoral laws in a way that will facilitate free, fair and credible elections in the country. The communique read: “The Peoples Democratic Party rose from its 88th NEC meeting with a resolution mandating the Senators and members of House of Rep to begin immediately the amendment process of all our electoral laws in such a way that we engender free, fair and credible electoral process in the country. “The party also expressed concerns about landmines created by the All Progressive Congress to turn our country into a one-party state. The newly elected Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum and Governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Tambwal, has alleged a deliberate attempt to oust governors elected under the party with a view to creating a one-party state.
