A group of councilors and chairmanship candidates who ran for 2014 Anambra State local government election under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP has joined other aggrieved members of the party to reject its governorship candidate, Mr Oseloka Obaze.
This follows an earlier joint rejection by four governorship aspirants of the party (Stella Oduah, Alex Obiogbolu, Emeka John, Ifeanyi Uba ) who had complained about alleged irregularities that the election panel overlooked and the unacceptability of the candidature of Obaze as he failed to meet the provisions of the party constitution and guidelines on eligibility to contest.

The Group in a press briefing in Awka, the Anambra State Capital said Mr.Obaze who is being paraded as the flag bearer of PDP in Anambra State governorship election cannot go far in the real race as he lacks followership of the real members of the party who still see him as a stooge of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA which frustrated them during the council polls.
The leader of the group Mr. Onuchukwu also alleged that it was obvious from the onset that the panel empowered to conduct the election, in conjunction with the state executive, had a predetermined candidate, which was why people were still being allowed to register while election was going on. They insist that Obaze didn’t satisfy the mandatory years he should spend in the party as a member before coming up with his aspiration.

Mr.Obaze who will be facing a tough electoral battle with the likes of Gov.Willie Obiano of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Hon.Dr.Tony Nwoye of the All Progressives Congress, APC and Chief Osita Chidoka of the United Progressive Party (UPP) may have a slight chance of victory if the internal disaffection facing his candidature is not addressed and resolved soonest.

Meanwhile, the appeal committee of the party will be meeting on Tuesday in Abuja to look into grievances put forward by some governorship aspirants of the party.
