⊠gives 48 hours ultimatum to illegal occupants of Ebonyi PDP Secretariat to vacateÂ
By, Uchenna Okeh, AbakalikiÂ
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ebonyi State chapter on Monday declared total loyalty to the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike and the Samuel Anyanwu led national caretaker committee, and however, vowed to win elections in the forthcoming 2027 general election in the country.
The Party further gives 48 hours ultimatum to all illegal occupants of the Ebonyi PDP secretariat across the State, to immediately remove their personal belongings and vacate the premises and failure to comply will attract legal consequences.
The Ebonyi PDP caretaker committee led by Emmanuel Ekuma among other prominent stakeholders of the party in the South East region, made this known in a communique signed and issued to newsmen shortly after itâs emergency meeting held in the state.
The communique reads in part: âPDP is the Party to beat in the 2027 general election, as the Party at the State and National level is gearing up to, not only move the Party forward but to also take over the Political landscape of the State and Nigeria as a whole.
âIt is instructive to reaffirm that the structures of the PDP are alive in all the 171 electoral Wards, 13 Local Government Areas and at the State level in Ebonyi State.
âWe hereby affirm our loyalty and confidence in the Caretaker National Working Committee (NWC) led by the Chairman, Abdulrahaman Mohammed and Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and our National Leader, Nyesom Wike.
âWe also affirm our confidence in the Southeast Zonal Working Committee led by the Caretaker Chairman, Goodluck Chidiebere Egwu. We equally affirm our loyalty to the Board of Trustees (BoT) of our great party led by Senator Mao Ohuabunwa.
âWe thank them for their continuous commitment, leadership and support towards the stability and progress of our party, through the enthronement of constitutionalism and the rule of law.
âThe Committee firmly advises individuals who are parading themselves as members of the Ebonyi State leadership of the Party, South East Zonal leadership of the party, or in whatever guise to desist from such disorderly conduct and practice before the arms of the law catches up with them.
Ekuma threatened to take legal action against the suspected illegal occupants of the party Secretariat in the state.
âSimilarly, the Committee hereby advises all illegal occupants of the PDP secretariat across the State, to immediately remove their personal belongings and vacate the premises within 48 hours of this broadcast. Failure to comply with this directive will attract lawful consequences.Â
âThe State Committee reiterates its firm commitment to restoring unity, discipline and order within the Party and calls on all loyal members to cooperate fully with the Committee in the collective interest of the Party and the people of Ebonyi State.
âLet us use this opportunity to assure our teeming members in Ebonyi State that the PDP at the national level remains focused and ready to conduct outstanding congresses and our National Convention.Â
âConsequently, we reiterate that the PDP has not held its national convention as can be confirmed by INECâs rejection of the November 2025 gathering of some members of the party in Ibadan Oyo State.Â
âWe call on our members and supporters to note that we are guided strictly by facts, law and compliance with constitutionalism. The claims that INEC had recognized the Ibadan gathering amounts to nothing more than media propaganda and should be disregarded as the same was void abinitio.Â
âYou cannot place something on top of nothing and expect it to stand. Furthermore, following the decision of the Ondo State High Court, striking out the name of INEC as a defendant in the matter before the court, no outcome, decision or determination arising from such suit can be binding on INEC under whatever circumstances.Â
âLittle wonder, therefore, they have now hurriedly approached a Federal High Court seeking an order to mandate or compel the independent National Electoral Commission to recognize the kangaroo gathering and the individuals purportedly elected as members of leaders of the party in that gathering.Â
âWe know that meeting prominent leaders in Nigeria can never amount to legitimacy of an illegality Â
âThe Committee sincerely thanks the good people of Ebonyi State, especially members of the Peopleâs Democratic Party, for their overwhelming support, solidarity and continued commitment to the Party despite the activities of anti-democratic forces and those who think that the party is their personal shop for money-makingâ the party leadership stressed.

"Then, if you're borrowing from somebody, the person sending you the money on loan should be able to write that it is a loan.
"If you're paying back, you should be able to say loan refund or reimbursement, so that you will not be charged that it is an earned income.Do you understand?
"So, every money that is coming into your account should be able to show the narration, so that when they are charging you from bank, they will be able to know what they are charging you.
"It is not when you borrow money. You pay interest and you also pay tax. Do you understand? These are the things people should know in 2026 to avoid being charged wrongly.

âHe has done well. We believe that after this position, he will be giving another opportunity to continue because he is a good manâ he stated.
The highlight of the event, is the defection of some prominent stakeholders in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,; Alieze Godsave, and Mrs.Alieze Eucharia who is a former councilor, among others to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The former House of Representatives member, Okwudili Ezenwankwosp who represented Orumba North and South Federal Constituency, has said that the reason he is supporting governor Chukwuma Soludo is as a result of the rapid infrastructural development in the state.

âI came back to APGA because of the wonderful work Soludo is doing in Anambra state, if not I would not have come back. I keep supporting him since I came back because he is doing very good.
âWhen I summoned the electorate and told them that I was back to APGA, over 20,000 People attended because they know that I am for their interest apart from politics, I started helping people at age 23, and have run the Okwudili Ezenwankwo for 19 years, that means I founded the foundation 19 years ego and since then it has been doing very well, assisting the downtrodden.
âDuring the election for Soludoâs second tenure I used my influence to garner the votes for him in Orumba North and South and by extension Aguata Local Government area because I command majority of the voters, nobody can challenge me sequel to my philanthropic nature and  achievements that include human capital developmentâ he further disclosed.

âI believe this is a way for me to serve the Society, giving back to the Society especially the poor. To assist people who couldnât afford three square meals in a day. At age 23, I started helping people. My foundation is 19 years now and next year when it will clock 20 years I will celebrate it in a big way,ââWhen I summoned the electorate and told them that I was back to APGA, over 20,000 People attended because they know that I am for their interest apart from politics, I started helping people at age 23, and have run the Okwudili Ezenwankwo for 19 years, that means I founded the foundation 19 years ego and since then it has been doing very well, assisting the downtrodden.
President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, has stated that the secretary to government of the federation, SGF, Senator George Akume remain one of the high respected leaders in Nigeria and should be accorded that honour.
He further said it is even an insult to call senator Akume leader of Benue, saying Akume is not just a leader of Benue State, but a leader of North Central and a revered leader in Nigeria who had paid his dues.

He was the minority leaders in the Senate, he was a minister and he is now the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF.
âThis is why I call him the cat with nine lives. He installed a Governor, he dethroned him and put his own, he fell out with that one, he dethroned him and installed another one. But we will not allow the relationship between him and this transformative Governor to go asunder.Â
âThe leader of Benue, Akume, is also the leader of the North Central, he is a leader in Nigeria and his speech today shows leadership, accomodations and large heartedness.
âI have that moral obligation as the leader in the north to repair the damaged relationship because he (Akume) has a big heart. He is our leader that we hold in highest esteem.Â
