The South-East Zonal Executive Committe, ZEC, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has threatened to review its relationship with the party if its recommendation of SUNDAY UDE-OKOYE as national secretary is not honoured.
The body made this known yesterday at the end of its meeting held at the government house, Enugu, the capital of Enugu State.
While reading the communique, the zonal chairman, ALI ODEFA, said that the South-East has consistently served as a stronghold of the PDP with unalloyed loyalty to the party since inception and even as members in other regions continue to defect.
He therefore urged the National Working Committee to uphold its decision and ensure that the Deputy National Secretary of the PDP functions as the Acting National Secretary pending the ratification of the nominee for the Office of the National Secretary by NEC in line with the recommendations of the PDP Governors Forum as adopted by the NWC.
The Leader of the party and governor of Enugu State, PETER MBAH, said it was time for the zone to speak with one voice, and make Unity their priority.
In the same vein, the Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees, Senator ADOLPHUS WABARA expressed dissatisfaction on the maginalization of ndigbo in terms of the country’s leadership.
Urban radio correspondent, IFEYINWA OGBUE, reports that the ZEC meeting which took place at the Lion Building of Enugu State Government House, had other dignitaries and stakeholders in attendance, including the immediate past governor of Enugu state and PDP BOT Member, IFEANYI UGWUANYI and former governor of Imo State, Chief ACHIKE UDENWA, amongst others.
