The crisis currently rocking the opposition Peoples Democratic Party has worsened as the South-East caucus of the party has threatened mass exit from the party if its choice of Hon. Udeh-Okoye as the national secretary is not respected.
This was even as the governor of Enugu State and leader of the PDP in the zone, Dr. Peter Mbah, said it was time for the zone to speak with one voice, while the chairman of PDP Board of Trustees, Senator AdolphusWabara, and former governor of Imo State, Chief AchikeUdenwa, expressed their displeasure over what they described as the party’s disrespect for the region.
The zone vented its displeasure in a communique read by the zonal chairman, Chief Ali Odefa, at the end of a meeting by the South-East Zonal Executive at the Government House, Enugu on Wednesday.
It said the meeting was convened to nominate a candidate to complete the remaining term of the position of national secretary in line with the directive of the party’s National Working Committee during its 600th meeting in Abuja.
