‘Orji is the only Abia PDP governorship candidate,’ says commissioner
Abia State
commissioner for information and strategy, Anthony Agbazuere, has
debunked insinuations that two parallel Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
primaries that produced Theodore Orji and Ikechi Emenike as candidates
held in the state.
Briefing the media
on Tuesday in Umuahia, the information commissioner said that the only
recognised PDP executive in the state was that led by Emma Nwaka, which
returned the governor.
Mr. Agbazuere said
that only three aspirants attended the screening in Enugu, after which
the state governor and Tony Enwereuzor were cleared.
He said that Mr.
Emenike was never an aspirant on the platform of PDP as he alleged and
did not participate or appear for the screening prior to the primaries.
“It is equally
important to state that the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) monitored the exercise that produced Mr. Orji, so any other
primary could not have held,” he said.
