It has been categorically stated that the only primaries held in the state was that of the House of Assembly which is the only legal primaries.

We are calling on the National Working Committee of the PDP to as a matter of cancel the purported illegal primaries held in Abuja which is in contravention to the court orders and the Electoral Act and to also organize and conduct the remaining primaries being that of the National Assembly and Governorship as provided for in the law that produced Malam Nuhu Ribadu".

Madaki insisted that the stakeholders, will not allow the mistakes of 2007 to be repeated where ousted Governor Murtala Nyako was imposed on them we will never succumb to any pressure to allow illegality,

He said that the cardinal principles of internal democracy have been thwarted as such they were constraint to protest the injustice being mated to members of the party by some powerful interests in Abuja
