Anambra State Executive Committee (SEC) of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) under the Chairmanship of Comrade Chidi Chidebe has held an enlarged meeting to deliberate on pressing issues affecting the cohesion and direction of the party within the State and across the nation.
After extensive deliberations, the party rejected in a communique an alleged political coalition involving multiple parties which claimed to have the consent of the party’s leadership.
The party categorically said that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP was not engaged in any coalition discussions with any political party.
“Consequently, the PDP in Anambra State is not involved in any coalition talk whatsoever. We strongly advise our members and stakeholders to steer clear of such activities, as they lack legitimacy, approval, or endorsement from the leadership of the party at both the State and national levels.
“We urge all faithful members of our great party across the State to remain focused, resolute, and unwavering in their support for the efforts of our National leadership, the Board of Trustees (BoT), the PDP Governors’ Forum, and other critical stakeholders who are diligently working to reposition and restore our party’s glory.
“As the saying goes, no man abandons his house because of weed. We continue to pray that any man or woman raised and nurtured by this party whose intention is now to destroy it shall be put to shame, “the statement read in part.
The SEC reaffirmed its unflinching support for its respected leader in the State, Senator Ben Ndi Obi, the South East zonal leader, His Excellency, Barr. Peter Mba, and the National leadership of the party.
The party commended their efforts and aligned fully with their pursuit of peace, unity, and restoration of the PDP as the true hope of the Nigerian people, according to the party.
The SEC strongly advised all members of the party across Anambra State to steer clear of any form of coalition meetings or political gatherings that are not sanctioned by the PDP leadership.
It said that participation in such gatherings constituted anti-party activity and would be met with appropriate disciplinary actions.
“Any State, Local Government, or ward officer whose name is enlisted or associated with any unauthorized coalition group will be deemed to have exited the party.
“Consequently, any office such an individual occupies shall be declared vacant with immediate effect.
“The State Executive Committee remains committed to upholding party discipline, unity, and the democratic values of the PDP. We urge members to remain vigilant, loyal, and focused as we collectively work towards a rejuvenated and victorious party, “it concluded.
