The recent inauguration of a new Caretaker Committee for Anambra State PDP Chapter by the National Chairman, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo has been commended as a strategic ice breaker in the embarrassing cycle of selfish driven intrigues in Anambra State PDP.
Making the commendation is a core Igbo centric group, Congress for Igbo Renaissance (CIREN), which stated that the self inflicted national scorn the Anambra State PDP cultivated overtime appear set for reversal with this obviously sober and candid choice of caretaker members.
“By this well considered intervention, the National Chairman and his NEC members have demonstrated that the unflattering state of affairs in Anambra PDP is not only recoverable but actually winnable through simple tact and honest heart.
“We of the Congress for Igbo Renaissance therefore, feel strongly that the reign of tirades, underhand scheming and, barefaced sabotage have lasted long enough, to let competitive decency take the floor of Anambra PDP once again,” the group noted in a statement signed by the president Dr. Steve Ugonna.
He added: “Infact, we dare advise that the vibrant energies often engaged in unbefitting faction proliferation, should be made available to the committee, so that through creative synergy with the National Chairman’s deft maneuvers, they should be able to organize soon a command pulling out parade for Gov. Peter Obi into his proper abode, the PDP.”
Dr. Ugonna further advised that having become battle wary now is the time for all the cartels and camps in Anambra PDP to abandon their intrigues with dignity and dissolve like one family into one cohesive umbrella under the present caretaker executive with the honest resolve to wrest the leadership of the State from a lonely Gov. Peter Obi’s APGA.
“We therefore urge the Mr. Emmanuel Nweze-led caretaker committee to divest themselves of the luxury of time wasting, because the tasks before them are herculean. We advise they should be level headed, transparent, faction blind, and show a keen commitment to true reconciliation in order to achieve the desired goal.
