November 2, 2014 NO CONGRESSES HELD IN ABIA Our party members and delegate aspirants yesterday, 1st November, 2014 ( supposed to be the day of the congresses that never took place) dispersed after 6pm when nobody came. The following major developments took place. 1. Arrival of the Tony Ceaser Okeke national congress team at 1.20pm to the State Secretariat of the Abia PDP and had a meeting with aspirants delegates and stakeholders who expressed their fears of the plan to hijack the congresses by the state executive. The meeting ended at 2.15pm. 2. The disappearance of the party registers of all the 184 wards in Abia contrary to the guidelines for conduct of congresses. This fact was clearly made known to the Abuja panel during the meeting and the panel gave the assurance that the congresses will follow strictly the partys guidelines and constitution. 3. The Tony Ceaser Okeke teams failure to produce the mandatory election materials for the congresses viz ; Collation materials ; Identity tags for those to go to supervise the elections; no party registers and even nobody deployed to the field. 4. In the field where people waited, nobody came with any materials. The only activity was the Transition Committee Chairmen in every local government moving about with their security and video crew and still photographers taking pictures of the crowds anxiously waiting for the arrival of the electoral officers. 5. Between 5.30pm and 6pm, the people dispersed to their homes disappointed. Which means that NO CONGRESSES HELD ANYWHERE IN ABIA according to the guidelines of the party. 6. From about 8pm we noticed surreptitious movements of non-executive members of the party and government officials carrying pre-prepared fictitious result sheets of papers to the members of the Tony Ceaser Okeke led panel in Damgrete hotel where they were huddled since their arrival after the meeting with stakeholders and aspirants which as earlier noted ended at 2.15pm. Rumour has it that the panel spent most the night compiling this fictitious results into their result sheets. CONCLUSION Therefore based on the foregoing, we emphatically stress that no congress election of any type took place in the whole of Abia. We insist on an election as scheduled by the constitution of the party be held as soon as possible within the time line of the 2015 electoral schedule of our great party. The charade that took place in Abia had absolutely no remedial features. It is a shameless caricature of democracy, a cruel stab on PDPs legacy of internal democracy and a crude mockery of our great partys assurance of a level playing ground. Finally, the gross aberration of yesterday is unprecedented in executive impunity and the ultimate in anti-democracy conspiracy and fascist fraud.
