Worse still, this zoning decision was taken without the engagement of the statutory organs of the party, such as the state caucus, making it for all intents and purposes, an imposition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the midst of all this, there are reports that a chairman has been appointed for the PDP State Elders Committee, outside a meeting of that organ of the party, which amounts to a breach of the Party Constitution. And then there are stories, so far unconfirmed, that a Governorship candidate has been anointed for the Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom all these, it is clear that our party is heading towards an avoidable crisis. Thank God we are not there yet. But we need to take urgent action to return the party to its normal democratic ways.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am therefore calling on the state chairman, Rt. Hon Dr. Asiforo Okere, to take urgent action to call the party back from the brink, by summoning as soon as possible, a meeting of the Abia state PDP caucus to discuss these aberrations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ugochukwu also asked members of the party in the state to \u201ccalm down and not exacerbate matters with inflammatory comments\u201d, adding that the problems will be resolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) board of trustees (BOT), Onyema Ugochukwu has warned of a potential crisis in the Abia chapter of the party.
