CRISIS LOOMS IN ABIA PDP OVER ZONING OF GOVERNORSHIP SEAT

Former Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and member, Board of Trustees of Peoples Democratic Party, Onyema Ugochukwu has expressed worries that the ruling party in Abia State is heading towards a needless crisis.

Ugochukwu speculated that it was unavoidable should the state leadership of the party fail to address controversies that emanated over the recent zoning of its governorship seat to Abia North and Abia central senatorial districts ahead of the forthcoming general elections in 2023.

The PDP chieftain in a statement issued to newsmen in Umuahia, harped on the need for urgent action by the critical PDP stakeholders and members to return the party to its normal democratic ways.

The National Chairman of PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, has also advised the Governor of the State Okezie Ikpeazu and aggrieved members of the party to quickly resolve their differences to avoid the state sliding into the hands of the opposition.
