Anambra PDP In Fresh Crisis by CastroTbb(m): 2:20pm On Jul 22, 2015 |
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chapter in
Anambra state is currently engulfed in another
round of crisis.
The party kicked off its congresses yesterday amidst
protest and rumours that the exercise has been
postponed.
Nigerian Pilot reports that most of the party’s
leaders and elders were absent at the exercise held
at ward levels.
The congress was monitored by a five-man PDP
congress committee instituted by the national body
of the party. The committee was led by Ike Abonyi.
while members include Bolarinwa Oluwaseun,
Mahmoud Bichi, Nuah Babatunde and Ugo
Uyawunne, who served as secretary.
The stakeholders who boycotted the congress
include the three senators from the state, Senators
Uche Ekwunife, Stella Oduah and Andy Uba. Others
are Chief Chris Uba, Chief Ifeanyi Ubah, Prince
Arthur Ezeh, Sir Emeka Offor, Prince Nicholas
Ukachukwu, Senator Joy Emodi and Senator Ben
Ndi-Obi.
Comrade Tony Nwoye, PDP governorship aspirant in
the state in the last election, told newsmen that 98
percent of PDP supporters in the state were not
aware of the exercise.
He said, “we challenge them to show us where they
have published the names of those to conduct the
congress as stipulated by the PDP guidelines.
“Our members should be set for the next line of
action within a few days, if this impunity by some
members of the party is not reversed. Our Senators
in the party were not aware of what is going on in
the state, the acting national chairman of the party,
Uche Secondus has been notified of the
development.”
Nwoye also lambasted the PDP National Publicity
Secretary Olisa Metuh, for signing an announcement
for the congress, adding that it was specifically the
duty of the organising secretary of the party to do
so.
“There is no congress going on anywhere in the
state, Metuh has written names of his stooges
because he wants to become national organising
secretary of the party in November 2015.”
“We do not want to give ultimatum to the NWC, but
the stakeholders will be meeting six hourly waiting
for the final decision of the party, before we take
our final decision on our next move in the next few
days,” Nwoye said.
Meanwhile, the national leadership of the PDP has
accused the federal government of treating its
members as prisoners of war.
