Anxiety In Anambra PDP Over Planned Assault On ChieftainsBy Okey Maduforo, Correspondent, AwkaThe confusion trailing the Jim Nwobodo-led reconciliation committee's meeting with members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State has snowballed into fears of attack on factional leaders of the party. It would be recalled that at the end of the meeting, which called for a return to the status quo, the trio of Ivy Obiokoye, Bright Nebedum and Tony Nwoye laid claim to the chairmanship of the party. The alleged planned assault came on the heel of an alarm raised by the President, Supreme Youth Congress, Nnonyelu Williams, President, and Madukile Akusa, Secretary. According to the Congress, one of the factional chairmen of the party, Tony Nwoye, planned to destabilise the party in the state and hunt down some of its chieftains. The group however expressed loyalty to Bright Nebedum as the chairman of the party. However, Nwoye in his reaction denied the insinuation, accusing the group of trying to discredit him. As far as he was concerned, the Congress was a tool in the hands of certain forces in the party, who are bent on causing trouble. Deepening the apprehension further however, former acting Chairman of the PDP in the state, Rev. Chris Orajekwe, also accused Nwoye of colluding with the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to destabilise the party in the state.
