PDP Enugu vows to win future elections in the state

The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State has expressed optimism of emerging the winning party in scheduled and subsequent elections in the state.This was said at a zonal meeting in Agwu, Enugu West. Some chieftains also went ahead to state that the party would continue to control the state in spite of recent internal political reshuffling.Speaking at the meeting, the Deputy Speaker of the state’s House of Assembly, Chief Donatus Uzogbado, said that the party envisages no challenge from any of the opposition parties in the state.Uzogbado said that the faithful needed not fret over recent events where some members defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), adding that PDP was “still on ground”.“The APC challenge is no challenge to us. In fact, the 2019 elections is going to be the easiest for our party in the state,”Â Uzogbado said.Chairman, Aninri Local Government Area, Mr Chidi Ekwe, said that the unprecedented peace and unity in the party would be the tonic for its successful outing of the party in future polls.Ekwe commended the model relationship between Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the Deputy President of the Senate, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, saying that the state had not had it so good.“We at the local government are trying to replicate the good works of the governor in our various councils,”Â Ekwe said.The Commissioner for Water Resources, Chief Charles Egungbe, said that the PDP had a well-thought out secession plan which could not be thwarted by any of the opposition parties.Egungbe said that there was nothing to fear as the PDP was synonymous with the state, adding that the second term of the governor was assured.He, however, urged the party faithful not to rest on their oars or remain indifferent if the PDP must be successful.Our loyalty is with Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and we shall keep supporting him,”Â Egungbe said.The member representing Aninri constituency in the House of Representatives, Chief Toby Okechukwu, said that Enugu West was a no-go area for the opposition.Okechukwu said that politicians in the area were so focused that even without a political party they could decide where their allegiance stood and would not waiver.“However, we will do our best to make sure that the party continues to prosper. Our support for the governor is not in vain. We are with him because of what he is doing,”Â he went on.Meanwhile, the party leadership in the zone received some members of the opposition in the state who defected to it at the event.A former All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) faithful, Mrs Ijeoma Chukwu, said that her decision to join PDP was borne out of conviction that it was the party of the moment in the state.Chukwu, who was APGA’s candidate for the Enugu West senatorial election in 2015, said that APGA was gradually losing steam.“We have decided to join the PDP because of some reasons. I love my former party, APGA, but it is unfortunate the party is gradually dying,”Â she said.
