The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Enugu State Chapter, Mr. Ikeje Asogwa has petitioned the Nigeria Police, accusing Senator Ayogu Eze of forging election result sheet for the party’s December 8, 2014 governorship primary.

The Senator participated in a parallel primary election in Enugu State, where he emerged the PDP candidate, whereas the 5-man election panel sent from the PDP national secretariat conducted another election where Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi emerged winner.

The primary, which produced Ugwuanyi was attended by Governor Sullivan Chime as well as the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.

In a petition dated December 17, 2014 and signed by the state Chairman of the party, Mr. Ikeje Asogwa, the PDP raised an alarm over alleged plot by the Senator to truncate the party’s successful primary election in the state with forged documents.

Asogwa said: “The Peoples Democratic Party Primary election to elect a Governorship flag bearer for Enugu State took place at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium Enugu on 8th December, 2014.

“The party, from the National headquarters, appointed a five-man electoral committee to conduct the primaries for the election of the Governorship candidate for Enugu State. The members of the panel were King Asara A. Asara (Chairman), Barrister Ukpai Ukairo (Secretary), Barrister Saratu Umar, Engr. Alamu Adeyemi and myself as the State Chairman of the party.

“The members came with the official result sheets from the party headquarters, as well as the ballot papers and other materials required to conduct the primary election. At the end of the electoral exercise, the members issued a result of the election wherein they returned Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as having won the election.


“Surprisingly, Senator Ayogu Eze, who was a candidate at the said primary election has now altered a result purporting same to be the result of the said primary election of 8th December, 2014. The said result was produced on a forged result sheet purporting same to be the result sheet of the Peoples Democratic Party”.

Giving further details with attached alleged evidences, Mr. Asogwa added: “I hereby enclose the original result sheet of the party, which has the name of the party, the logo of the party, the address of the national Secretariat and the serial number of the result sheet issued out to the panel, the signatures of the National Chairman, the National Secretary, the National Organizing Secretary, the returning officer and the Electoral Officer. I mark same as Annexure I.

“I also annex as Annexure 2, the purported result of the primary election written on the forged result sheet purporting same to be the result sheet of the party. A look at this Annexure 2 will show that it does not contain the essentials of the authentic result sheet of the party as enumerated above”.

The State party Chairman further told the police that Senator Eze allegedly used the forged document in the suit he filed at the Federal High Court Abuja and urged the police authorities to investigate the matter and take necessary steps to “arrest and prosecute Senator Ayogu Eze for forgery of PDP Result sheet in accordance with the dictates of the law”.

Can someone please tell me the meaning of the word "IMPLOSION" as used by top PDP echelon to describe what they predict will happen to the APC after its convention and Primaries?

must facet of Enugu state be in one political, let the rest created the party of there own sang give room for Competition. The beauty of Democracy is when there is opponent from another political party, it strengthen the ego and performance march of politicians. To my own observation this people are not democratical as non of them don't want to be an opposition to the ruling party in the state.

When you have a one party situation, it becomes a do or die affair winning the primaries of that particular party.

The problem of most candidates in the South East is the politics of exclusivity of the PDP in the zone.
