PDP Gubernatorial Primaries On-going in 30 States. Focus on Ebonyi State - Eze Igweogboffia The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are right now in the process of electing its flag bearers in the 2015 Governorship elections in the States where Gubernatorial elections will hold in 2015. At the Abakaliki township stadium, the PDP delegates are participating in choosing their gubernatorial candidate. The Governor Chief Martin Elechi had ordered a boycott of the primaries by the mainstream PDP body in the State which has seen the Deputy Governor Engr Dave Umahis camp produce the House of Assembly and National Assembly flag bearers so far. Despite a purported court injunction and a disputed delegates list, the PDP NWC has adopted and ratified the results of the previous primaries. With todays Governorship primaries which will produce Engr Dave Umahi as the PDP Gubernatorial candidate barring any last minute changes by the Presidency who we hear might be delving into the issue to salvage what is left of the Party in todays primaries. In Yesterdays PDP Senatorial primaries, the Former Governor, Dr. Sam Egwu won the ticket for Ebonyi North Senatorial zone, Senator Sonny Ogbuoji won the ticket for Ebonyi South against speculations that Anyim Pius Anyim might be producing a replacement for Senator Ogbuoji as compensation for his grievances. Rumour has it that, Obinna Ogba was handed the ticket for Ebonyi Central after the Governor, Chief Martin Elechi rejected same insisting that he be allowed to produce the Governorship flag bearer at the expense of his initial ambition to go to the Senate. There are indications that the result of todays primaries will determine if the Elechi camp will be implementing an already perfected plan for mass defection to another party. Whether that decision will still protect the interest of our preferred candidate Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu is yet to be confirmed. However, #EbonyiSouth2015Agenda is still committed to ensuring that the Governor of Ebonyi State come 2015 is from the Ebonyi South Senatorial zone. Lets continue to watch the unfolding events in Abakaliki today and keep you abreast with all breaking news. Watch this space
