Dr Ifeanyi outrightly denied the claims, saying the Party has not given any waiver to any serving Chairman to contest a second term.
“No automatic tickets for serving Council Chairmen,” he declared.
The PDP Spokesperson in the state labeled the claims by some quarters, describing it as attempts of fake news peddlers.
He urged party faithfuls to ignore the rumours while calling for the discountenance of the report, saying “it is not true.”
“Anyone interested in contesting the LGA Council elections must pass through the normal and approved regulations. There is no waiver for anyone and no automatic ticket for anyone,” he stated.
