There are strong indications that some officials at the Peoples Democratic Party National Secretariat are colluding with some individuals in Anambra State chapter of the party to undermine the political base of frontline presidential aspirant, Peter Obi.
This was revealed by former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Dr Doyin Okupe in a statement.
In an exclusive statement made available to News.band, and titled, “PDP AND PETER OBI, Okupe said:
“It is a matter for great regret that despite HE Peter Obi’s gentlemanly civil disposition and unwavering commitment to PDP as a party, some officials in the National Secretariat of the party do not accord him the respect due to him as the leader of the party in Anambra state.”
“Recently a free and fair national delegates elections were conducted in the state and the results verified by INEC officials. Surprisingly some people within the state are trying to collude with certain elements within the National Secretariat to manipulate these results in order to undermine the political base of Peter Obi in Anambra.
