The National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, South East Zone, Chief Ali Odefa, has insisted that there is no division in the party in Ebonyi state
Speaking shortly after an enlarged PDP stakeholders meeting in Abakaliki, Odefa said that despite the internal wrangling, the party still remains one as united in the state
He stated that "there is no going to be fresh Primaries in Ebonyi as Dr Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii remains the governoship candidate in the State
He however said that the party will do all within his power to bring aggrieved members together under the same umbrella.
Odefa noted that the internal wrangling can’t prevent PDP from taking over the governance of the state come 2023.
He said: "The governorship candidate of PDP, Ebonyi State Chapter for the 2023 election remains Dr Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii.
"The essence of this meeting is to inform our party members and supporters the decision of the national working committee and to further reconcile and harmonize amongst ourselves.
"There is no going to be fresh primaries. The legal department of our national Secretariat has done the legal analysis and has come up with its legal opinion, which is that there will be no primaries."
"I'm not in their belly or in their minds. Normally, there may be people that are aggrieved or not happy with one decision or another but reconcilation is a continuous process. We're confident that everybody will eventually come together."
"Traditionally, Ebonyi is PDP predominantly until the Governor ran away with our mandate. However, I must admit that we have had our own fare share of internal issues, but we are getting over it and the future looks very bright," he stated.
