.... appeal to them to attend NWC /Imo PDP Stakeholders Meeting In Abuja
- as party faithful threatens to work against candidates behind Imo PCC doctored list
Owerri_ Fresh revelations emerged last night, Wednesday aftermath directives from the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP extended invitation to Imo PDP stakeholders to visit the Wadata Plaza on Tuesday, next week in continuation of their investigation into the purported Imo PDP Presidential Campaign Council and Management Committee List, NewsGazzete can authoritatively confirm.
Our roving reporter who gained access to the venue of the meeting undisclosed gathered that the meeting was convened at the instance of the former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Chief Emeka Ihedioha.
Highpoint of the meeting was the decision of the NWC of PDP inviting stakeholders of the party to Wadata Plaza.
While the meeting was in session, the furious Ihedioha accused the NWC of frustrating his governorship reelection ambition by attempting to review the Imo PDP Presidential Campaign Council and Management Committee List.
Continuing, Ihedioha disclosed " I have invested hugely in the party, my being the Chairman of the Campaign Council Team in the state should be a compensation to me as I was removed from office as an elected governor even while the party abandoned me to carry my cross, I got no financial assistance to prosecute my case at the Supreme Court rather all I got was protest march that yielded no positive result.
"If the decision of the NWC of our party is anything to go by which I strongly believe that my name may be substituted with another Imo son to lead the Campaign in the state, then am doomed politically.
"By so doing, my political relevance and status as the leader of the party in the state will be subject of mockery.
"I have called you all candidates of our party whom I played role in influencing your emergence in the last primary election to come to my rescue. " I wish to bring to your notice that my political future is at stake and if we don't take a bold step, we maybe heading to political hibernation.
Hence, I appeal to you all to make yourselves available next week at the NWC meeting with Imo PDP stakeholders to defend my chairmanship of the Campaign Council for our Presidential candidate and Vice Presidential candidate in the state".
The Candidates present at the meeting were also mandated to donate funds to transport select Pro-Ihedioha's party loyalists to Abuja on Monday next week ahead of the Tuesday meeting.
Our correspondent gathered that the sum of 8million naira was raised to take care of transport fare and other logistics of Ihedioha Reelection Movement members to Abuja in solidarity.
Meanwhile, some stakeholders and faithful of the party who got a wind of the meeting have vowed to publish names of candidates of the party plotting with Ihedioha to subvert the decision and position of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Imo state regarding the Presidential Campaign Council and Management Committee List.
They vowed to work against any candidate who identifies with Ihedioha regarding the doctored Imo PDP Presidential Campaign Council and Management Committee List, NewsGazzete confirmed.
Also, there are feelers that Imo youths who are plotting to get back at Ihedioha for calling them Saboteurs for supporting Mr Peter Obi had also renewed their resolution and commenced mobilisation to work against any PDP candidate that identifies with Ihedioha ahead of the 2023 general election, describing him as a desperate politician.
In a similar development, a Chieftain of the Labor Party in the state who pleaded on condition of anonymity told our reporter that political parties' stalwarts in the state are closely monitoring the outcome of the PDP National Working Committee's meeting with Imo PDP stakeholders scheduled to hold next week in Abuja, adding that Ihedioha's desperation led to mass exodus in the party each time he clinches the party's governorship ticket while advising that Labor Party will be willing to receive defectors from the party in the event of the party failing to resolve the internal dispute in PDP.
