If Governor Ikpeazu believes, the PDP becomes invincible with unity.
Former Governor Okezie Ikpeazu Urges Unity and Loyalty Among PDP Members in Abia
In a recent gathering, former Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State called upon members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to remain loyal and united, emphasizing that "loyalty is the highest sacrifice" for the party's success [1].
Addressing top PDP leaders from Abia South Senatorial Zone in his hometown, Umuobiakwa, Ikpeazu urged members to resist distractions from "noise makers and naysayers" and to hold regular meetings to strengthen PDP structures across the zone, the state, and the country at large [2].
Enyinnaya Appolos, the PDP Vice Chairman of Abia South, described Ikpeazu as the state leader of the PDP and urged members to show commitment and unity of purpose to sustain the dominance of the PDP in Abia. He also emphasized the importance of unity for the survival and dominance of the party [3].
The meeting provided an opportunity for party leaders in the zone to exchange ideas and receive briefings from Ikpeazu [4]. However, some individuals have found reasons to fault Ikpeazu for personal misfortunes, despite his acknowledged achievements in office [5].
In a lighter moment, Ikpeazu's statement that if someone's pot of soup sours, they will blame him for it drew laughter from his audience [6].
While the reaction from PDP leaders in Abia State to Ikpeazu's speech is not extensively documented, internal tensions within the PDP have been reported elsewhere. Notably, former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido has publicly criticized Ikpeazu and others for alleged anti-party activities, advocating for their expulsion from the party [7]. This indicates some division and contention within PDP ranks, which may affect how Ikpeazu’s call for unity is received by different factions.
In conclusion, Ikpeazu's call for unity and loyalty among PDP members in Abia is a significant step towards strengthening the party's position in the state. However, the presence of internal discord within the PDP, as evidenced by the criticism from figures like Sule Lamido, may pose challenges to the implementation of this call for unity.
