Anambra PDP: Factional SEC Ratifies Suspension Of Ag Chairman


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Anambra chapter has called on the National Working Committee (NWC) to conclude the suspended congress in the state to save the party from electoral doom.

A faction of the party led by Mr Chukwudi Umeaba made the call in a Communique raised after its extraordinary emergency meeting held on April 5.

The Communique was signed by Mr Don Onochie, Chief Okey Muo-Aroh
Chief Chukwudi Umeaba and Chief Ken Emeakayi

It appreciated the National Chairman and the entire members
of the NWC if PDP for their
efforts to rescue, rebuild and restore the party for the overall development of Nigeria.

"We most sincerely express our gratitude to the NWC for their
transparent and integrity driven process in the conduct of the Ward
and Local Government Congresses in our State.

"We most humbly urge the NWC to apply same parameter in the
conduct of the outstanding State Congress for purposes of electing
officers at the State level.

"The NWC is urged to please as a matter of urgency concludes the
congresses of PDP in Anambra State still outstanding," it stated.


The faction disassociates itself from the purported resolution as contained in the letter signed by Mr Okey Asolo and Mr. Nnamdi Nwangwu April 2 wherein Chief Chris Uba a BoT member of the party and Chief Linus Ukachukwu another chieftain were suspended.

It ratified the suspension of Mr Okey Asolo and Mr Nnamdi Nwangu the acting Chairman and Secretary of the party in Anambra for a period of three months.

The faction said the purported April 2 State Executive Committee where the two chieftains were suspended never held and that the action packed due process.

According to them, Okey Asolo, Nnamdi Nwangwu and their collaborators have been referred to the State Disciplinary Committee for flagrant breach of the party constitution and by so doing putting the party in dire stress.

"The State Executive Committee after preliminary hearing, hereby
suspend Comrade Okey Asolo and Nnamdi Nwangwu from the party
for a period of three (3) months in line with Chapter 10 of the PDP
Constitution," it stated.

The Communique called in PDP members in Anambra and across the country to redouble their efforts and commitment towards building a virile political platform capable of
winning elections.

Efforts to get reaction of Nwangu through calls and text message failed as his phone rang repeatedly without response.
