Imo State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP has kicked against the recently concluded national championships convention of the party held in Ibadan, Oyo state capital.
Rejecting the outcome of the Ibadan convention, the Imo State chapter, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Lancelot Obiaku, described it as a “mere gathering of a lawless Committee of Friends,” which ignored court rulings, violated internal procedures, and paraded suspended and expelled members as delegates.

Obiaku said: “It was a tea party of lawless friends, a sham convention drenched in illegality.”
The party officer reaffirmed the loyalty of the chapter to Acting National Chairman Abdulrahman Mohammed and National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary, stressing that the refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to monitor the event underscored its lack of legitimacy.
Obiaku described the dissolution of Imo PDP executives as “wishful” thinking.
