Heavy shootings at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, on Tuesday evening, disrupted a three-man delegates election billed across the 171 political wards in the state.
The Publicity Secretary of the party, Nwoba Chika, had in a statement stated that the three-man delegate election could not hold in Ebonyi because of issues the party needed to resolve in the State, and further disclosed that the election would hold on Tuesday.
But while the three-man delegate election could not hold last Saturday, because of the perceived chairmanship tussle between Tochukwu Okorie and Silas Onu, it could not still hold on Tuesday due to varying issues.
Aspirants, their supporters and other stakeholders of the party, who came to the party’s Secretariat very early on Tuesday awaiting the arrival of the three-man delegate election committee, were disappointed, as they waited in futility.
It was further gathered that the three-man delegate election committee had been allegedly abducted in Enugu, on their way to Ebonyi.
This allegation could not be verified immediately due to the tension at the Secretariat as of the time of filing this report.
There was also a heavy shooting at the party’s Secretariat following an alleged misunderstanding that ensued among party faithful.
