The State Chairman of PDP Sir Johnson Onuigbo has directed that sale of forms for the party congress earlier scheduled to begin on Monday 24/02/2020 be postponed indefinitely. In a statement by the state organising secretary, St’ Moses Ogbonna, said a new date will be communicated. He said in part, “We regret the embarrassment if any…. However, newsmirrorng.com investigation reveals that the state Chairman of PDP has no access to the forms as at Saturday evening, 22nd February, 2020, which led to the sudden postponement. Recall that major stakeholders in Abia PDP is not comfortable with the proposed return of Chief Johnson Onuigbo as the state Chairman of PDP. Just last weekend, a crisis was averted, during the state caucus meeting on the modalities for the election and a plea to have Chief Onuigbo have a safe landing, which as seriously opposed and rejected. The crisis reached it’s crescendo when some leaders from Ikwuano/Umuahia area of PDP threatened to quit PDP if Chief Onuigbo was not returned. However, the proposed RETURN – RETURN, an acronym for a no – contest second term was vehemently rejected by major stakeholders that led to second option, which is the buying of forms to slug it out in the field. News Mirror Online shall keep you posted as the events unfold. For now, it’s an uneasy calm in Abia PDP as the issues surrounding the congresses are yet to abate.
