PDP May Lose Oshimili South In 2023 As N35million Endorsement Tears Party Apart by UYCO: 3:00am On Dec 28, 2020
PDP MAY LOSE OSHIMILI SOUTH IN 2023 AS N35 MILLION NAIRA ENDORSEMENT TEARS PARTY APART
The wholesale endorsement of the younger brother of Mr. Chinedu Ezinyili aka Chinedu Okoh as chairmanship candidate of the PDP in exchange for N35 million naira is currently brewing crises in the party ahead of the forth coming local government election slated for March 6th 2021. A source in the meeting where the money was shared confirmed to us that the sum of N35million was handed over to a chieftain of the party (name withheld) to share to elders of the party for the procurement of the endorsement in favour of his younger brother who he equally arranged an emergency marriage for few days ago to prepare him for the chairmanship position. It was gathered that some of those who collected the money were however skeptical that Chiedu Okoh want to rule the LGA by proxy because the said younger brother has no experience about governance. According to our source, Mr. Obi Kelvin has never done anything in his life by himself. It was Chiedu Okoh that gave him everything he has in his life including the emergency wife that he married for him last week Friday. They claimed that Chiedu Okoh is a business man who want to add Oshimili south local government to his business empire and the youths of the LGA will never allow that to happen. If he wants to contest election, he should subject himself to primary election. Meanwhile, Oshimili south youths movement have cautioned PDP elders against imposition of chairmanship candidate on the people after collecting a whopping sum of N35 million. In a statement signed by its coordinator Mr. Michael Okafor, the youths vowed that PDP will lose Oshimili south in 2023 if the party does not conduct a free and fair primary election where all aspirants will be given a level playing ground to contest. They noted that democracy is a government of the people and since the youths are majority in the LGA, they should be allowed to have a say in the leadership recruitment process. They applauded the inculbent chairman Comrade Osadebe for his developmental stride in the past three years . They equally supported his refusal to share the LGA allocation to those old men parading themselves as party elders. According to them , the allocation is meant for the development of the LGA and its people, not for sharing to leaders.
Meanwhile, there are indication that the people of Asaba have finally settled for Osadebe and his vice chairman Mr. Sunny Obi. This option was said to be the outcome of a dialogue reached by politicians from Asaba, Okoh and Okwe community. Asaba people unanimously chose Osadebe over Chinedu Okoh's younger brother because the inculbent has only 3years to spend before handing over to an Asaba indigene, Unlike Chinedu Okoh's younger brother who will likely contest for second term and deprive Asaba people the opportunity for a long time. According to an indigene who spoke to us on condition of anonimity, if Chinedu Okoh Can dolla out N35 million to procure ticket for his brother when he has not annexed the local government as part of his business empire, he will be willing to doll out N100 million to procure a second term ticket for his brother when he finally annex the LGA as part of his business empire. It is in light of the above that the people of Asaba decided to settle for Osadebe/Sunny Obi with a view to preparing ground for an Asaba indigene to take over from Osadebe in the next 3years. Oshimili south youths are equally accusing the DOP Mr. Ifeanyi Eboigbe as the one behind the problem in Oshimili south.[i][/i]
