By Tony Edike

ENUGU—Enugu State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has dismissed as untrue and misleading the statement made by  former National Auditor of the party, Mr. Ray Nnaji, that he conceded his position as state chairman to Vita Abba on certain conditions which were not fulfilled by Governor Sullivan Chime.

Nnaji, who condemned the impeachment of the state Deputy Governor, Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi, had while speaking with journalists in Enugu on Monday, said that he would return to court to determine who was the authentic state chairman of the party having conceded the position to the incumbent party chairman based on an agreement he had with the governor in 2008.

Reacting to his comments yesterday, the state chapter of the party, who spoke through its Publicity Secretary, Dr. Okey Eze, said the comment published in some national dailies was aimed at misleading the public and “paint the leadership of the party in a bad light as a means of registering his alleged grievances.”
The party said that there was no crisis in the state chapter as it had established a new order of peace and stability in the state.

The party said: “In the said publications, Nnaji among other false and baseless issues alleged that he conceded his position as Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Enugu State in 2008 to Engr. Vita Abba “on certain conditions”. He went further to accuse the State Leadership of the Party of playing rubber stamp to the State Government. Nnaji also threatened to “return to court to reopen the legal issue over the authentic Chairman of the Party in the State in 2008.”
