The Chairman of the PDP in Kogi State, Engr. (Dr.) Sam Ohuotu has assured one of the leading aspirant for the position of PDP National Chairman not to entertain any fear that money will determine the direction of the votes of delegates at the upcoming National Convention of the party.

Ohuotu, who, alongside other State Executive members, leaders and delegates received Daniel and his delegation at the state party secretariat in Lokoja said the party in Kogi state is well organised and experienced enough to ensure that only a tested, trusted and innovative leader like Daniel emerges as the party's national chairman, assuring that they are unperturbed by those throwing money around to sway delegates.
