Some
Governorship aspirants of the PDP extraction in Imo State last week played down
on their ambitions and united to kick against the PDP State executives for
adopting a no zoning posture.
The
aspirants are from Owerri Zone and they have persistently called on the party
executive to zone the party’s governorship to the zone on the basis that Owerri
Zone has never produced the governor of the State.
In a communiqué issued and signed by 13 of the 14
aspirants namely, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha, Senator Christy Anyanwu, Chief Barr
Humphrey Anumudu, Engr. Emma Ojinere, Barr. Ken Njemanze (SAN), Chief Jerry
Chukwueke, Barr. Bethel Nzimako, Prof Jude Njoku, Senator Bright Nnwanne, Chief (Barr) Charles
Onyegabako, Mr. Ken Ojiri and Mrs Clara Njoku, the aspirants said the position of the party executives does
not conform to the process of decision making in the PDP
The meeting
which took place at the country home of one of the aspirants, Barr. Humphrey
Anumudu, reads in part “ The attention of the aspirants also
has been drawn to a Press Release issued
by the State party secretary and published in the Announcer Weekend Newspaper
of June 20, 2014, page 8, paragraph two(2) conveying a purported decision of the
State Working Committee (SWC) of the party that the party in Imo State has not
zoned and will not zone any position to any specific area”
While they
pledged to work together and assiduously in a renewed spirit of brotherhood to ensure
that Owerri Zone produces the next governor of Imo State, they vowed to engage relevant
party authorities on the matter, urging their supporters to remain calm. .
Imo PDP has been boiling over which of the three geo political zones,- Owerri, Okigwe and Orlu gets the party’s nod to produce the party’ governorship flagbearer
