The power struggle for the 2011 Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] structure appear to have reached its peak yesterday [Tuesday] at the Owerri Airport in Imo State. It saw the former one-time self acclaimed godfather of Anambra politics attack the national deputy chairman of PDP in the person of Olisa Metu.

According to eyewitness reports, Chief Chris Ubah upon sighting Olisa Metu at the Owerri Airport pounched on him and began punching him at the head and in the belly. As he punched him, the police men watched on. It took the action of nearby politicians in the likes of Jim Nwobodo to stop the beating. Olisa Metu was in the company of the former governor of Anambra State, Jim Nwobodo and his wife when Chris Uba launched his attack.

Confirming the attack was Olisa Metu who spoke to a correspondent of ukpakareports.com stating that men from Chris Uba had been warning him that Chris Uba is angry with him and is hunting for him to possibly injure him. While talking to our correspondent he pleaded that the media should stay out of the story because Chris Uba remains his friend.

It was also gathered through a source in the political circles in Anambra that Chris Uba had been engaged in a tussle for the PDP Executive structure in Anambra - and Olisa Metu had been said to pose an obstacle to his acquiring the structure. And to this, he wanted the elimination of Olisa Metu, if possible.

Meanwhile, Olisa Metu and Chris Uba were said to have submitted statements to the police at the Owerri Airport. Chris Uba was cautioned by the Airport police and let go.

Both gentlemen boarded the same flight to Abuja.

Chris Uba was contacted but he refused to respond. The National PDP Chairman, Nwodo, was contacted but he did not respond.

Stay tuned.

Wow, I'm very curious to know how this will end. I assume Mr Olisa wouldn't place charges against Mr Uba. With giant politicians currently coming from Anambra, I'm not sure if Andy Uba, or PDP Chairman Nwodo runs the show in Anambra. . . .

Is the Olisa man incapacitated? What happened to his own hands? If he cannot Punch, cant he also block punches or is he an octeganarian?

politics again.

as long as none of them died, this is no news. God will surely set them up against each other. the pains of the suffering nigerians will surely be their portion.
mr.chris uba, next time, use ur gun and olisa, get urself equiped now that u have known that things are no longer business as usual.

1025:

as long as none of them died, this is no news.

I dey laff like Chris Uba God father Obasanjo
This guys are part of the problems of the SE region and should be rusting in jail by now. A man who vandalised Anambra State govt facilities in broad day light and kidnapped an 'illegal' sitting Governor and boasted about it in public but still moves around with a convoy of policemen payed with Nigeria tax payers money. Many things are definitely wrong with our system.

I hate this news. Metu should look for a good monday hammer while Uba get some good pump actions rifle, what a news

How sweet would it have been to see the picture(s) showing Chris Uba landing a serious upper cut on the Olisa Mentu guy or vice versa!

The question is who is beating Chris Uba's new drum?

I hope that those in Presidency who have realised that the PDP political class in Anambra State may not be necessarily keen on Jonathan Presidency are not trying to recruit this thug once again just to win elections?
