In a protest letter signed by the Deputy Governorship candidate of the party, Chief Paulinus Igwe Nwagu and Senator Micheal Ama Nnachi among others said that it is embarrassing and worrisome that the National Working Committee NWC of the party made a volte face and reneged on their own decision by throwing away the list submitted by the critical stakeholders of the PDP.
The Leaders noted that the NWC brought out an entirely new list that featured names of members of the party who resigned from the party and declared openly as members of the APC.
They gave the names of the former members of the party as Hon. Udeh Akaji, Hon. Francis Ibiam and Hon Dave Odeh insisting that “these individuals publicly resigned from the PDP and joined the All Progressives Congress another party.
“The list also includes the name of Hon. Okoro Pascal Monday who took the party to court in suit no: FHC/CS/AI/95/2024 Between Hon Pascal Okoro and Ambassador Umar Illilya Damagun (Acting National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party) and Six Others which is still Pending at the Federal High Court, Abakaliki Division.

The group stated that should the NWC reneges on the collectively agreed-upon list of new caretaker committee as submitted by the various local government chapters of the PDP in Ebonyi State, we may not have any other option than to resign from the PDP.
“We have sacrificed personal and individual resources and comfort to stay true and loyal to the PDP in Ebonyi State. in the face of organised intimidation, harassment and subterfuge plots. It is, therefore, curious that the National leadership of our great party looks reluctant to help the party stay strong in Ebonyi State. Ends.
