Ugochinyere, an asset to PDP- Chief Emeka Kalu
A stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, Chief Dr. Emeka Kalu, has called on the national body of the party to immediately call to order some members of the party in Imo State who alleged that they have expelled a member of the House of Representatives , Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere from the party.
According to Chief Kalu, who is also the National Coordinator , PDP Coalition, Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere is an asset to the party.
Kalu in a statement said: ” I received with dismay the publications signed by the Imo State PDP Publicity Secretary expelling an ardent protagonist of unity and positive change in the party , Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere .
” At a time the party is gradually working towards rebuilding her broken walls , some persons who failed to see the realities of power tussles in political leadership took to fraudulently abuse processes by raising their ill fated pen to publish Ugochinyere’s expulsion from the party he has continued to give his best for .
Hon. Ugochinyere who has remained the most committed federal legislator elected under PDP fighting the gross injustice, sabotage and political prebedalism hampering the unity of the party should rather be given accolades of honour than insulting his personality with an expulsion letter . What an irony of bias and political immaturity that guided the writers !”
He also said that a party that has been captured by the enemies within with all readiness to destroy it should concentrate on fighting to retrieve its glory from the hands of traducers than resorting to fight a man who has never relented in working to ensure the party is robustly strengthened .
“It is a show of shame that while the party at the national level is battling conflict of interest and sabotage within the party structure and those who are bent on ensuring these wrongs are corrected became the victims of circumstance orchestrated by his haters who think their interest are no longer protected .
” I therefore call on the national leadership of the party to quickly intervene by reversing this biasedly obtained decision of expelling a vibrant defender of democracy from PDP.
” A stakeholder of the party like Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere deserves more recognitions of honour for his unwavering commitment to ensure the party is vehemently united and the central organ of the party must not treat this issue with kids glove if PDP is to stand the test of time.
” I therefore condemn in totality the issuance of this superfluous and sentiment driven expulsion letter asking Ugochinyere to leave the party he has worked to promote . This action was senseless and must be treated as a hoax , thereby deserving immediate reversal to save the party from imminent collapse, ” Chief Emeka Kalu concluded.
