ENUGU 2015: GOV. CHIME PLANS TO JOIN APGA
Information reaching Tectono Business Review has it that the governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chime, has perfected plans to dump the People Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) with his loyalists ahead of 2015 polls. This is the aftermath of the rivalry engulfing the Enugu State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Reliable sources from the camp of the governor said that the decision to pitch tent with the APGA was reached when it became obvious that the National leadership of the PDP was not disposed to allowing him control the structure of the party towards nominating candidates for the 2015 general elections.

The governor’s group had last week gone to the Enugu High court, where they secured an order against the PDP over the outcome of the congresses of the party held in the state that did not favour it .

It was equally noticed that the new campaign posters of Gov. Chime’s ‘consensus’ governorship candidate, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, which dotted the nooks and crannies of the state over the weekend came without any party name or logo, given credence to the speculation that the group has jettisoned the PDP. Chime was said to have sent a high-powerful delegates to negotiate with the leadership of APGA on their intention to cross over to the party.

Tectono Business Review reliably learnt that some conditions were given to the governor and his group to use the party to vie for election next year including entering an accord that would bind them from jettisoning or leaving the party after the 2015 polls.

It further revealed that Chime and his group were also reminded of the N29million allegedly granted the party (APGA) in 2011. The grant was said to have been stopped on the order of the governor immediately he triumphed over the erstwhile National Chairman of PDP, Dr Okwesilieze Nwodo, on the then struggle for the PDP structure in the state. Chief Umeh advised the governor during the meeting to redeem his 2011 pledge before further negotiations.

Last week all the new posters of Ugwuanyi did not have PDP logo. But Chime could not afford the money APGA had demanded. He will remain in PDP. He went for PDP Screening of candidates going for Senate. Ike Ekweremadu did not attend the screening.

Enugu PDP Says no plan to move to any other party. Op, pls update your gossip blog.

Never trust Chime who said in the last election that it would be the last he would ask for votes, only to come now to say Senate even when he is not well.

See what a contributor Okwy said on disqus:



Don't mind the sly man. Chime cannot be trusted. He was making peace with cudgel in hand. On one hand, he reached an understanding with the Ekweremadu camp before President Jonathan, then he returned to Enugu only to have his people file suit No.

E/439/2014 seeking to stop the Deputy Chairman of Enugu PDP, Elder David Aja from parading himself as Acting Chairman of the Enugu PDP. But Aja is the rightful Acting Chairman, and also the only person empowered to convene a meeting of Enugu PDP in line with the PDP constitution. The PDP National Working Committee also affirmed the position of party's Constitution at its 388th meeting on 30th October and conveyed same in writing to the PDP, Enugu, but only for Emperor Chime and turncoat Ken Nnamani to disobey the constitution and the NWC's directive to summon another illegal meeting to purportedly affirm Ikeje Asogwa as Acting Chairman.

Two, Chime purportedly reached a peace agreement and wants to stay in PDP, but he sent his fronts to go to and obtain a black market injunction from the notorious Chief Judge of the Enugu State High Court against the November 1, 2014 PDP Ward Congresses.

Meanwhile, let it be known that what Chime told some PDP stakeholders he invited to the Enugu meeting earlier this week to the effect that he remained in the PDP was because he was expecting to get the news of the cancellation of the Ward Congress by the PDP NWC meeting holding in Abuja that day. Unfortunately for him, the NWC never did any such thing, even though he was hoping that that the 500 million naira bribe he has been boasting that the gave to some members of the national leadership would work for him to that effect. Only Lagos and one other state's congresses were cancelled. In fact, more disappointing for the Governor, the same PDP lawyer he thought he had bought over went to court the same day to file an amended affidavit based on the true facts made available to him by the National Organising Secretary to affirm that indeed the ward congresses held in Enugu. Thus he overrode his earlier submission to the contrary.

he also told the meeting that they all were in Abuja where a red carpet was rolled out for Jonathan as the consensus candidate and boasted that Jonathan cannot turn around to stop him from imposing his own consensus candidate because what is good for Abuja is good for Enugu.

So, Chime is now in a tight corner. Now that everything is working against him, let us see how he remains in the PDP as boasted.
