2023 Presidency: Udom Receives N40m PDP Nomination Forms From Brekete Family, Enters Race

Governor Udom Emmanuel has joined the 2023 political race following his acceptance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP nomination forms presented to him by the Abuja based Brekete family.

The Brekete Family representative who presented the forms to Udom Emmanuel, Thursday evening, claimed that the N40 million used to purchase the forms came from different Nigerians but did not disclose the contributors.

Receiving the forms, Udom Emmanuel thanked the Brekete Radio founder,  Ahmed Isah and his team who he said contributed their money to purchase the presidential nomination form for him.

He said: “I appreciate this gesture.Be rest assured that I have accepted the form I have accepted this nomination form. All Nigerians cannot come together to give me something and I will refuse it.

”Honestly, when I heard this plan to buy me a Presidential nomination form was going on, I asked myself, how can they raise up to N40million to go and buy me a form? .But today it has become a reality.

“There are over 200 million Nigerians, but you chose to accord me this honour and privilege. I don’t take this for granted. I really want to appreciate this family, I register my appreciation to all Nigerians for this confidence.

“This is a job well done. And a job well done means more job to be done. You have taken the first step, go all way out and take all the steps and achieve results. At the end of the day, it’s not the effort that matters, but the results”

Udom while affirming his pledge to contest, lamented the situation in which only a Secondary School certificate was required to run for the presidency whereas corporate organisations required advanced degrees.

Udom in accepting the PDP forms stressed that certain things must be corrected in 2023, in order to move the country forward, and therefore advised that Nigerians must joins hands to make that better Nigeria that they crave a reality.

“Money is a principal thing. Nigeria today needs someone who understands money. It is unfortunate that if we are looking for a Managing Director of a particular company, the CV we seek, spans 3-4 pages, but when we are looking for a President of the country, based on the constitution, all we need is WAEC, no experience.

“In business if one can manage a kiosk, he can manage a shop, if he can manage a shop, it means he can manage a supermarket. So any governor who has managed a state well for eight years can manage a country well too.

“Whatever we can achieve as a country can never be a one-man-show. I believe everybody should join hands and make sure that we get it right in 2023”, governor Emmanuel advised in entering the PDP quest.

Presenting the nomination form to the governor on behalf of Brekete Family founder, the leader of the delegation, Mr Innocent Orji explained that their decision to purchase the presidential forms came after a delegation from the organization visited the state to critically assess and evaluate his performance.

Orji, popularly known as Scaffold noted the observation of the team during their visit to the state in January 2022 which he said informed their decision.

Orji said: “So we all agreed that if you can do these things in a State, if given that opportunity, you will do even better in the national level. We don’t believe in too much talk, so here today we are presenting to you the nomination form for presidential candidate of your party.
