PDP GUBER PRIMARIES: I’m not your member, correct misinformation, GICO blasts Ikpeazu …Threatens court redress

A leading Governorship aspirant in Abia State, under the umbrella of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Prof. Gregory Ibe has dissociated himself from the activities of the people’s Democratic Party, PDP in the state, saying categorically that he is not a member of their party.

This is following the recent governorship primaries election of the PDP, held in Umuahia, the state’s capital, during which the party allotted a total number of 2 votes to Prof. Ibe.

It would be recalled that Prof. Ibe had since March 30, 2022 terminated his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Reacting to the party’s primaries,

Prof Gregory Ibe Campaign Organization (GICO) in a statement made available to Famousreporters.com, has enjoined the leadership of the party in the state to take steps towards correcting “this misinformation failure of which will compel Prof Gregory Ibe Campaign Organization (GICO) to seek other legal means of redress”.

The release read in detail:

“ABIA PDP GUBER PRIMARIES: PROF IBE NOT A MEMBER OF PDP

We have observed with distaste the disdainful antics of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to attempt to accord credibility and authenticity to their recently held governorship primaries in Abia State by sneaking in the name of Prof Gregory Ibe among the list of contestants in the election.

“For avoidance of doubt, Prof Gregory Ibe formally resigned his membership of the PDP through a letter dated 30th March 2022 addressed to the Abia State Chairman of the Party, which was appropriately delivered and acknowledged by the Chairman of Achara Mbaugwu Ward 7 in Isuikwuato Local Government Area. He subsequently took up membership with the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and thereafter joined the governorship race under the banner of the Party.

“It is important to point out that apart from receiving the PDP expression of interest form collected by a group of friends for him, and subsequent public declaration on 9th March 2022, Prof Ibe didn’t fill or return any nomination form to the party, and neither did he participate in the governorship screening exercise, which from all intents and purposes remain a sine qua nun for all contestants.

“One therefore wonders how the name of Prof Ibe, who since making the widely publicized declaration titled “Message of Hope and Direction” on Easter Sunday 17 April 2022, has since moved on with his bid to realize ‘A New Abia’ under the APGA platform would resurface in the result sheet of PDP governorship primaries but for the handiwork of mischief makers whose chief aim is to accord legitimacy and acceptability to a failed exercise through the ingenuity of name dropping also known in the Abia political lexicon as ‘gamjism’.

“Otherwise what would make a highly monetized delegate who immensely benefitted from the now popular special financial allocation appropriated exclusively for that purpose forget so soon the person he had been ‘purchased’ to vote for and mistakenly freely donate votes to a non participant in the contest who did not ‘see’ him?Haba!

For the purpose of emphasis, Prof Gregory Ibe ceased to be a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on 30th March 2022 and subsequently couldn’t have participated in the party’s governorship primaries of 25th May 2022.

“The leaders of PDP in Abia state are, therefore, enjoined to take steps to correct this misinformation failure of which will compel Prof Gregory Ibe Campaign Organization (GICO) to seek other legal means of redress.”
