“So, in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from the National body, there is a a sense of reasoning, there is a sense of rebirth that is encapsulated in the mood of the party. They want to revive the party and Ebonyi is a case in study.

“We have had issues of disagreement among the stakeholders of the party. The party is somehow bulkcanized, it is factionalized and that is the essence of creating this particular leadership to resolve all the issues and strengthen the party.

Reacting on the claim by the Chairman of the All Progressive Congress chairm that former Senate President and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim was still in PDP contrary to some reports that he has dumped the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“The truth is this, democracy offers us options and political parties are mere conduit pipe through which aspirations are pursued.

“So, people go to parties where they feel that they will succeed more, that’s the driving point and it’s an independent decision to be taking by every human being, it’s like a race to heaven. So, you can’t compare anyone to remain in a political party.

“But having said this, I can also announce to you that as at today, Senator Anyim Pius hasn’t joined APC . So, I want to operate from the point of the known to the unknown”, he submitted.
