Some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State, southeast Nigeria, including Tony Nwoye, Valentine Ozigbo, and others, forced the party’s hands to cancel the congress to select ad-hoc delegates’ list from Anambra State’s 326 awards.

This online news platform understands that a letter written by the PDP’s 2022 primary election ward congresses electoral committee led by Chairman Ahmed Jibrin, sighted by this Newsone Nigeria reporter, revealed the actual events that happened in the state and not what some members of Anambra PDP have made the public believe.

In the letter dated May 1st, 2022, and sighted by this online news platform, PDP’s 2022 primary election ward congresses electoral committee narrated what happened on the day of the ward congresses.

The PDP committee revealed that Nwoye, Ozigbo, and some others stormed the party secretariat with miscreants and asked for the original results sheets, which had been distributed at the time.

According to the committee, which also has Captain Frank Ntima, Hon Amara Ogbu, Barr Azubuike Odoh and Engr Ogbonna, Victor, as members, the PDP members who brought thugs to the party secretariat revealed that the results of the congress were not favourable to them.

They initially compelled the committee to sign the photocopies of the results in our possession and issued the same to the people on their own list of 3-man local government electoral panel. They later rescinded and asked us to cancel the election outrightly. Hence handing over the signed photocopies to theirs through the administrative secretary of the party,”
