Former Director General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA) Dr Mike Omeri has been declared the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the Nasarawa South Senatorial district; it got him through a consensus arrangement followed by affirmation by the teeming delegates.
Declaring the results on Thursday, Hon. Atsiya Amehmara, who was returning officer for the primary, said he was told that the other aspirants for the senatorial race had stepped down for Dr Mike Omeri, but he needed to seek the consent of the people before proclaiming the only aspirant as the winner.
“I was told that they agreed on a consensus for aspirants, and I confirmed it when I was addressing them, and they said yes, and on that note only one aspirant was left, which is Agbo Mike Omeri, and on that note he was declared the winner through affirmation, and that is what just happened outside,” he said.
