S-East PDP caucus resolves to remain in oppositionon april 08, 2015 at 6:25 am in news



By Austin Ogwuda

SOUTH – EAST caucus of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Wednesday, met at the residence of the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, in Enugu and resolved to remain in opposition in the emerging new political dispensation to be piloted by the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), effective May 29, 2015.

The party’s leadership in the zone made it clear that it had no regret voting en masse for their party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
“As a zone, the South East delivered all their votes to the PDP and we are proud to do so,’’ the party said.

In attendance at the meeting were Governor of Abia State, Theodore Orji, Minister of State for Defence, Col. Augustine Akobundu (retd); Senator Hope Uzodinma, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Senator Gil Nnaji, the host, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, among others.

They, therefore, used the opportunity to thank all members of the PDP, including the governors, stakeholders and the people of the zone, for working tirelessly and voting massively for the party during the last elections and urged them to remain loyal and do the same on Saturday.

Addressing newsmen shortly after the closed door-meeting, the group’s spokesman who is also the National Vice Chairman of PDP South East, Col. Augustine Akobundu (retd), said they were resolute in remaining in the party and not contemplating defecting to other political parties.

His words:  “Everything that we need to do to deliver the goodies that our people deserve in the zone, we can bring through a very solid platform of negotiation.

‘’We voted for a party that integrated us into the mainstream of Nigerian politics, elected/appointed our people into strategic offices, and addressed some of our major infrastructural challenges. So, we took a principled position and accept full responsibility for our political choices.”

PDP SHALL RISE AGAIN

Excellent. Okorochas should go to hell.

Since the north and the west have rejected the PDP and the SS/SE are the only strongholds of the party, we should forge ahead with them. Nothing spoil.

Resource control is the way forward.

Whatever rocks their boat. Ko kan Aiye!

In 4yrs time, PDP will come back stronger but for Now...

This is an opportunity for the southeast to own pdp. If done right, Southeast will be the new PDP primary region.

pdp wud surely b bk n wud do wonders as apc did wt d northern part.. e.g kano votes

Good luck to them......let's see how S-Easterners play opposition politics.

Ok..i have since moved ...i dont belong to these so called South East Caucus

remain in the opposition, remain in the lagoon

PDP will back again

dry bone shall rise again

GEJ 2019 TILL 2023

Story for the gods !!! They will remain in opposition till 2029 !!!!

Good move, only that credible politicians with strong will & trusted political ideology are missing here. Peter Obi, Arthur Eze, Hon Mrs Uche Ekwunife among others should mastermind this project.

It is well

In case if they ever think of merger for a stronger opposition and possible taking back power from APC, let Victor Umeh and Gov Willie Obiano be Not included for the are political scavengers.

Good luck APC!
Long live PDP!!
God bless Nigeria!!!

Good.
They should remain genuine opposition to check APC if them fumble!
Last Bullet
Wishing them a happy opposition life!

Better. Hoping to see them as a strong opposition

that's the spirit. never say never

As far as the money remains with APC, I don't believe them.

sammyj:
Story for the gods !!! They will remain in opposition till 2029 !!!!

till 2037

Hehehe

You know a loyal "friend" in times of difficulty. Igbos are not sellouts; they are not gold diggers...TRUST is a good virtue. We have a lesson to learn from this.

It is honourable politics to remain in opposition at this time.

Gud 4 our democracy.

That is how to go to produce southeast President. Come after buhari 8yrs
