ISINGWU WARD IN UMUAHIA NORTH LGA PROTESTED AGAINST ANY ATTEMPT TO SWAP THEIR WARD CONGRESS LIST.

What would have best been described as a blood bath was today averted as rampaging youths of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Isingwu ward in Ohuhu, Umuahia north local government area of Abia state took over the community protesting against alleged attempts by some individuals in their ward to substitute the list of their ward congress held last Saturday.

They were today, Monday, March 16, 2020 seen caring placards of various inscription in a peaceful demonstration chanting songs against the dictatorship attitude displayed by their aged and top ranking ward leaders.

Speaking with Abia Pulse Newsonline crew at Isingwu was Chief Chigbo Okeahialam, an executive member of the party. He said: “we say no to imposition. Our leaders, mostly Chief Ebisike Okengwu and Ugochukwu Ezeocha, have concluded to go into their houses and bring a list of names that are not even party members, people who have not even worked for the party and we say no to such imposition.

“Those names written in their comfort zones are meant to be the executives of Isingwu, we say no to that. We usually select such people through our party’ congress. The congress was done a day before yesterday, people came out, and people were elected and no one should change that overall will of the people.”

Hon. Achilefu Onyegbule the ward Councillor also added that the crisis they are having in Isingwu is that the people that said they are the stake holders of this party want to dismay them or put us aside.

“An opportunity was given to Chief Ebisike to go and resolve with his people. Ohuhu leaders like Chief Empire Kanu, Our house of Assembly member, Hon. Kelechi Onuzuruike, The Commissioner for Finance Dr. Aham Uko, all asked them to go and resolve with their people, but they didn’t listen, rather he wants to thwart the will of the people who gathered and conducted a congress.

So what am pleading is that nobody should go to anywhere to withdraw any list of Isingwu, unless they want Isingwu to face calamity politically.
