Anambra Poll: Nwosu under pressure to ensure level-playing ground- PDP

Published

on

PROF. ABC Nwosu, the chairman of the PDP Caretaker Committee was, yesterday, under pressure following moves by some stakeholders in the party to project their interests using the platform of the committee.

Nwosu, Vanguard learnt, yesterday, had to personally call party chieftain, Chief Chris Uba, not to come to the meeting of the committee held at the national headquarters after he learnt that a senior chieftain of the party and member of the caretaker committee had bought a form for Senator Stella Oduah to participate in the primaries.

Vanguard learned Uba had asked that the caretaker committee member should resign his position on the ground that his membership of the committee was no longer tenable given that he was already backing a candidate.

Uba it was learned heeded Nwosu’s call, but some others were, however, not that disposed. Former member of the House of Representatives, Chuma Nzeribe, and some others burst into the meeting to challenge the propriety of the committee member – himself a brother to a former member of the House of Representatives- for supporting Senator Oduah and retaining his membership of the caretaker committee.
