A huge haze seems to be hanging over the
Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP )
governorship candidate in Abia State ,
ahead of the general elections .
It was learnt yesterday that there were
issues surrounding Dr . Okezie Ikpeazu ’ s
candidature.
Ikpeazu ’ s form C 0028, according to
findings, was already with the Independent
National Electoral Commission ( INEC ) .
This is contrary to information available to
The Nation that the Form C 002 B , as it
relates to Abia State , was withdrawn by
the PDP national leadership, following
questions about Ikpeazu , thereby casting
doubt on the authenticity of the signature
on the form Ikpeazu submitted to INEC .
Form CF 002 B is the INEC approved
document with which chairmen and
secretaries of parties can submit the
names of their parties ’ candidates for the
governorship election .
According to a copy of the Form C 002 B
made available to The Nation yesterday in
Abuja, only the signature of the PDP
national chairman, alleged to have been
forged, was appended . That of the PDP
national secretary was not appended.
It has raised questions in some quarters on
how the document made it to INEC without
the PDP national secretary ’ s endorsement.
Our findings showed that the national
leadership of the party had dropped
Ikpeazu ’ s name .
Although the party did not name any
replacement , The Nation learnt that it
rather asked that stakeholders should
meet the governorship aspirants and
Governor Theodore Orji to seek a credible
replacement .
The meeting is yet to hold.
A source at the commission told The
Nation that “it was possible the document
did not pass through the right channel
before finding its way to INEC .”
Fingers are being pointed at a senior
worker of the commission from Abia State
in the alleged “smuggling in” of the Form
C 002 B , as the PDP national chairman was
said to be out of the country when the
form was signed and submitted.
