On The News:
Dr Tony Nwoye withdraw from PDP Primary Election.

In a letter dated 25th May, 2022 addressed to the PDP National Chairman and Members of the National Working Committee of the Party that he has officially withdraw from the Party Primary owing to the fact that there is no Party Congress anywhere in Anambra North Senatorial District, violation of PDP Constitution, INEC guidelines and Electoral Act.

Announcing his withdrawal, Dr Tony Nwoye accused the PDP National Secretary of being responsible for what is happening in Anambra PDP, “Under your watch PDP is purpotedly conducting ward congress for election of 3 adhoc delegates this afternoon,25th May 2022 at Women Development Centre Awka instead of the 99 wards in the Anambra North zone,without any single party register,no quorum formed leading to disenfranchisement of thousands of PDP ward members.This violates Article 1(b)(iii) of PDP Guideline and Article 15(4) of PDP Constitution .

He went further to say that, “Uptil 1 pm today,25th may, 2022, the panel to conduct the said 3 adhoc delegates election has not being published, Party members came out yesterday,24th of may 2022, waited from morning till night,no ward congress took place and no communication to our teeming party members as to why the ward Congress did not hold on 24th May 2022 and why the ward congress of 25th May 2022 is not holding at 99 wards of Anambra North District DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO SECURITY CHALLENGE AT THE WARDS OF ANAMBRA NORTH SENATORIAL ZONE.
Everything concerning the primary process is shrouded in secrecy.

Further More, Dr Tony Nwoye accused Iyorchia Ayu leadership of its refusal to issue 7 days notice to INEC for rescheduled 3 adhoc congresses so as to give undue advantage to your selected aspirants contrary to Article 1.12 of INEC Guideline .

According to Dr Tony Nwoye, It is obvious that the Party under your watch is deliberately violating all these laid down procedures to enable your humble self and National Organising Secretary (Uma Bature) to handpick candidates for various positions in our Senatorial District.

“For posterity and interest of Party Faithful, who have laboured over the years to keep PDP alive in the zone and State, the may I say this:”It is repugnant to equity,natural justice and fair play to allow your favoured Senatorial aspirants to nominate all the electoral panels and appeal panels who will keep original result sheets at Abuja and come to Anambra State with photocopies and no reprimand from your leadership against such ignoble practice till date.”

It is very sad that. Tragedy has befallen PDP under your leadership to the extent that your favored Senatorial aspirants will appoint their cronies ,domestic staff as electoral panel committee and they will still not allow election to take place.

On Final and sad note, I Dr Tony Nwoye officially withdraw from this contest and humbly appeal to you to use your good offices to ensure that you communicate to appropriate organs of the Party Of this my decision,so that no vote will be credited to me in Anambra purpoted PDP Senate Primary scheduled for thurs 26th May, 2022 and Friday 27th May,2022 respectively Sir.
Please Sir,kindly be informed that my name should be removed as aspirant in the purported Party Primary of 26th may, 2022 and 27th may,2022 or any other date whatsoever. The Statement concluded.
