PDP has concluded plans to destabilise our party in Abia, APC chieftain alleges

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been accused of plots to destabilise the All Progressives Congress (APC).

But the PDP has denied this, stating that even if the party exists in the state it is not to its knowledge.

The allegation came from the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC Ex-officio member, Chief Nduka Anyanwu when he hosted a meeting of members of Abia Central Senatorial District of the party in his Ossa Ibeku home in Umuahia North Local Government Area of the state, stating that the plot is aimed at “weakening the growing membership of the party as credible alternative to the ruling party in the state ahead of the 2019 general election which we (the APC) are sure of victory.”

Blaming some members of the chapter, whom he described as saboteurs and agents of the PDP, for the disharmony in its leadership, the national officer appealed to the faithful ones to watch its ranks, stating “We need to fish out the blacklegs among us before they pollute others and cause irreparable damage to the party as we prepare for the election or we will have ourselves to blame latter.”

Anyanwu used the forum to correct the impression that President Buhari bad not been fair to the South East zone in his appointments, urging such critics to check their records before making such claims.

Similarly, a non-executive director and member representing the zone on the board of the Rural Electrification Agency, Engr Alozie Mac Solomon condemned the disharmony in the leadership of the chapter.

Expressing confidence that the party would sweep the polls in the election, Solomon stressed that the members must jettison their individual differences to achieve what he termed “our noble dream.”

In his remarks, the Chairman of the district, Chief Sunday Ogbonna said Buhari had been doing all he could to redirect the economy of the country, blaming the current economic hardship on the past administration.

The retired commissioner of Police, who commended Buhari, for his anti-corruption crusade and efforts at diversifying the economy of the country, appealed to the members to carry the change message of the party to the grassroots.

However, reacting on behalf of the party, the Publicity Secretary of PDP in the state, Sir Don Ubani said that if they have any problem in the state, it is self-inflicted, stating that it may be because of the party’s abysmal performance at the federal level.
