Palpable tension is gripping the mainstream of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Akwa Ibom State over issues arising from the just concluded election ward congress of the party with the state leadership apprehensive of the prospects of the cancellation of the exercise.

Some of the party aspirants especially the governorship aspirants and their supporters had during the exercise raised allegation of disenfranchisement and election irregularities.

It could be recalled that Governor Udom Emmanuel had denied the allegations that the party disenfranchised anyone during the ward congress, insisting that those complaining never went to their ward centres.The tension was further flamed last Monday when some youths staged a peaceful protest to the Akwa Ibom State Secretariat of the PDP at Atan Offot, Uyo to lay complaints and express dissatisfaction over the conduct of the election of Ad-hoc delegates in the state.TATTLENG.COM even gathered that some aspirants and chieftains had immediately petitioned the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Party in Abuja, and demanding  the cancellation delegates election.Also, there was widespread speculation among supporters of the various aspirants that the dates for the party primaries would be extended to enable the party address the grievances.But the statement by  the electoral umpire on Thursday May, 5, 2022 warning that political parties that failed to conduct their primaries for the nomination of their candidates beyond June 3, 2022, risks disqualification seemed to have dashed that hope.The INEC stance on the political parties primaries deadline may have even worsened the tension in the state chapter of the party as some chieftains declined to comment on the development.The tension among the supporters of the governor in the PDP who went away with victory during the ad-hoc delegate election flows from what was described as the avalanche of petitions from Akwa Ibom State bordering on irregularities in the conduct of the congresses. Reacting to the situation in the state a source privy to happenings in the party simply told TATTLENG.COM in confidence: “The complaints you are hearing are expected. It is normal in every contest. Even if Umo Eno does not pick the PDP ticket, only one person among all of them aspiring will pick it. For me whoever emerges, I will support the person. It is not a do or die affair.”Send

The Abia State chapter of the Action Peoples Party (APP), has resolved to zone its gubernatorial ticket to Abia North Senatorial district of the State.
It also specifically micro-zoned the deputy governorship slot to the people of Umunneato of Abia Central Senatorial district, while the people of Ukwa from the Abia South district will occupy the position of the Speaker in the State legislature.
But the opposition party has also knocked the State ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over alleged misrule and bad governance.
The Abia State Leader of the party, Mascot Uzor Kalu said this on Friday in a statement made available to newsmen in Umuahia, capital of the State.
Kalu also affirmed that the party has a working document on the zoning of the Abia governorship seat that will last for the next 20 years.
He also said the APP, which is on a rescue mission in the State, has come to free the suffering people of the State from the PDP-inflicted shackles of bad governance.
TATTLENG recalls that Kalu was former Chief of Staff to the former Governor of Abia State, Senator Theodore Orji representing Abia Central Senatorial district and had contested and lost in the last by-election to represent the Aba North and Aba South Federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
However, in his political move, he said, “the formation of APP is based on equity, justice and fairness, as these basic ideologies compelled the leadership of the party in Abia State to make clear pronoucement on its zoning arrangements.
“APP is coming to rescue Abians in 2023. It is important we support them to succeed. It is a party of equity, justice and fairness”.
