Senate Minority Leader and a frontline governorship aspirant of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Abia State, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has formally withdrawn from the PDP governorship primaries scheduled for today (Wednesday).
Abaribe who disclosed his withdrawal from the exercise in a press statement cited use of “imaginary delegates list and lack of transparency” as reasons for his action.
Similarly, another leading governorship aspirant from Abia North, and former State Chairman of PDP, Senator Nwaka, has also said he would not participate in the primaries which he dismissed as a charade.
Nwaka expressed disappointment over non-compliance with due process and the extant laws in the conduct of the three-man delegate congress which he insisted never held.
Senator Abaribe also said there was no three-man delegate election anywhere in the state by PDP, alleging that the list being bandied about was cooked up by those who want to impose their candidate on the party.
The Senate Minority Leader in a strongly-worded statement personally signed by him said his next political move would soon be made public.
