The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has announced its determination to form a united front that could stop the All Progressive Congress, APC, from taking over the Abia State Government House in 2027 election.
The decision of the party was made known on Thursday by Ikpegbu Emeka Yellow, the Chairman of the Kabiru Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the PDP in Abia.
The PDP Caretaker Committee Chairman who alleged that the APC chieftains are desperately ganging up to take over power in Abia, also claimed that the broom party is not happy with the peace and development in Abia.
He rallies political parties in the State to be united in the quest to salvage democracy , saying that the One-Party plot by the APC in the centre should not be allowed to happen in Abia or any other State.
” We therefore call on all political leaders in Abia, irrespective of party affiliation to rise above partisan interests and unite in defense of our democracy” the PDP Chairman said.
He further claimed that former unpatriotic members of the PDP who defected to the APC in Abia are the people leading the destabilization plot.
But responding to the allegations, the Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive Congress, APC in Abia State, Uche Aguoru said the Ikpegbu Emeka Yellow-led Caretaker Committee of the PDP lacked the capacity to advice Abia people.
Aguoru who said that APC is accepted and loved by Abia people, alleged that Yellow and his supporters are on the mission to sell the PDP to the Labour Party-led administration in Abia, the same way they allegedly sabotaged the umbrella party in 2023.
