Members Fault Abia PDP Chairman’s Emergence

A group of disgruntled members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State have passed a vote of no confidence in their present state party Chairman, Mr Johnson Onuigbo.

The group, which has three former Abia State Assembly members and past administrative secretary of the PDP, said that Mr Onuigbo was not qualified to lead the party.

Two of the members, Chidi Nwosu and Chukwuemeka Osoagbaka, explained that the process that led to the emergence of the PDP State Chairman was undemocratic.

They claimed that one of the contenders to the seat of the Abia State Chairmanship claimed that he paid for a form but was not given a chance to be part of the process.

Meanwhile, a PDP Stalwart, Ukpai Agwu, bluntly refuted the allegation.

The Peoples Democratic Party Chairman, Johnson Onuigbo in his remarks also said that the allegations were untrue.

He expressed concern that there were misguided politicians within the party.

He warned them to retrace their steps, saying the PDP would not condone distraction from any group.
