LATEST UPDATE: Enugu PDP crisis deepens


Delegates election fails again –Chime’s camp 

LG congress held peacefully –Ekweremadu’s faction


The Special Local Gov­ernment Congress of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to elect National Delegates for the presidential primary election was suc­cessfully held in Enugu State yesterday.

Seventeen Ad-Hoc Del­egates from the 17 Local Gov­ernment Areas (LGAs) of the State were elected at the con­gress.

Acting State Chairman of the party, Elder David Aja and the five-man Local Govern­ment Congress Committee from the PDP national head­quarters, Abuja, supervised the Local Government Congress.

Members of the Committee included Barr. Gabe Igboko, who is the Chairman, Alh. Kabiru Bala Maitama, and Hon. Lawal Mammadu.

Others were Chief Olumide Olusuyi and Rose Confidence Alozie.

Reports from the 17 council areas indicated that the exercise was peaceful as the three-man delegates elected during the November 1, 2014 Ward Con­gresses in the 260 Electoral Wards in the State participated fully at the designated centres and elected one delegate from each of the 17 LGAs in line with the party’s guideline.

Those elected as National Delegates from Enugu State during Saturday’s congress were: Enugu North LGA- Hon. Chuka Ayogu, Enugu East – Hon. Edward Nnaji; Isiuzo- Prof. Samuel Ugwu, Nkanu East- Hon. Anayo Ede, Nkanu West- Dr. Chika Okenwa Ani, and Enugu South- Hon. Emma Okenwa, Nsukka – Hon. Charles Ugwu, Udenu- Barr. Charles Ugwu, and Igbo-Eti­ti- Barr. Simeon Ngwu. Oth­ers elected were: Igboeze North- Amb. Fidel Ayaogu, Uzo Uwani – Prof. Mathias Ofili Ugwudoha, Igboeze South – Prof. Osita Ogbu, An­inri – Barr. Eric Ogudu, Awgu – Barr. Eze O. Eze, Ezeagu – Hon. Okey Ozoani, Oji River – Engr. Bethel Onyenyiri, and Udi – Dr. Simon Eneh .

There were no skirmishes at any of the centres as the del­egates and party officials con­ducted the exercise in a very peaceful manner. Party chief­tains, stalwarts and supporters who were present at most of the centres, hailed the officials for the smooth conduct of the exer­cise, which they described as a demonstration of the unity and peace that exist among mem­bers of the party in the State.

Speaking at the end of con­gresses, the Acting Chairman of the State chapter of the PDP, Elder David Aja commended party faithful and delegates for the smooth and peaceful con­duct of the exercise, noting that the State was now ready for the forthcoming party primaries at both the State and national levels.

He said: “Enugu State chap­ter of the PDP is on course to retaining power in the State and produce credible representa­tives at the National Assembly come 2015. And as you know, we are determined to con­tribute to the Transformation Agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan by ensuring that he is reelected both at the National Convention/Presidential Pri­mary and the 2015 general election in line with the position of the National Executive Com­mittee (NEC) of the PDP”.

Also speaking, Chairman of the PDP five-man Local Gov­ernment Congress Committee, Barr. Gabe Igboko, commend­ed the people of Enugu State for their cooperation towards the successful conduct of the exercise.

The Committee, which earlier met with the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Enugu, congratulated the Enugu State PDP for the suc­cessful congress. Anxiety had earlier mounted in the state following alleged attempts by some interest groups and indi­viduals to frustrate the exercise and kill the truce brokered by president Goodluck Jonathan , the National chairman of the party Adamu Muazu and other stakeholders, last Thursday night.

Supporters of the governor has alleged a plot to abort the congress, and even claimed that no congress took place.
