Ebonyi PDP reunite, map out strategies ahead of 2023 elections

The Peoples Democratic Party,(PDP)  Ebonyi state chapter has reunited and strategized  ahead of 2023 elections in the State.

The party has been engulfed in crisis after the primaries resulting in series of litigations which led some of the contestants and party leaders to defect to other political parties.

However, normalcy returned to the party after the supreme court ruling unpholding the election of Dr Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii as the authentic governorship candidate of the party in the state.

To ensure election victory come 2023, a unity meeting was held at the state party secretariat along Abakaliki- Enugu high way in Abakaliki, across the 171 Electoral wards in the state.

The meeting was at the instance of the governorship candidate, Dr Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii aimed at showing the

Party is now one family and ready for the 2023 elections.

 

Speaking to journalists shortly after the meeting, Odii said, “Yes we have to unite ourselves from the house before we talk of uniting Ebonyi state. Part of what we are going to do in the state is to create an atmosphere of unity, a unity that will foster amongst us, a unity that will see us as one people, that is what you see us doing today.

“We can’t do it without starting from the house, PDP is one family and PDP has come together, PDP is a winning party and PDP is a party to beat.

“I don’t think anybody is hanging around, we are going to have expanded stakeholders meeting soon, where you will see all the faces together and every one of them is to work for the betterment of PDP.

On efforts to curb attacks on PDP members, especially the recent attack on Mr Abia Onyike, he said, “What we are doing about it is that we are not relenting, we are trying to study it very well, PDP is not scared of anything or any Ebubeagu. We are to study the events and then we will approach it the way we think best and stop it.

Earlier, the state party Chairman, Hon. Tochukwu Okorie, said the party is one, United, and stronger. He assured that the party will coast to victory come 2023 general elections.
