The People’s Democratic Party, on Monday’s night, told the ruling All Progressives Congress in Ebonyi State that it would resist and reject any form of intimidation from it in the state, as 2023 elections draws near.

The party equally boasted that the era of using security agents and every other means including the courts to intimidate party faithful, the was over.

National Vice Chairman of the PDP, South-East zone, Chief Ali Odefa, stated this during the PDP Stakeholders’ Meeting, in Abakaliki.

He said the South-East was completely PDP and that the victory of the party at the just concluded Aba North/South Federal Constituency bye-election, was a confirmation.

According to Odefa, “As you know, south east is PDP. The only Governor they have in south east was stolen from the backyard; in Imo, they used court to steal that one from us. Of course, Ebonyi, only him defected. So, our party is on ground.

“Everybody here I can assure you are the people that can win elections in their places. You cannot go to Ivo local government where Senator Anyim Pius Anyim is from and you will say you will win there. In Onicha local government, we are there in Onicha local government, Hon. Linus is from Onicha local government, Ifeanyi Chuks is from Onicha local government. It is a simple Mathematics. Politics is not shouting; I will crush you, I will grind you.
