In a statement, the Chairman of Forum of Imo PDP Local Government Chairmen, Barrister Uche Alisigwe, said the lawmaker remains one of the leaders of the party in the state.
“The 27 local government chairmen of PDP in Imo state, after their emergency meeting to review the sorry state of the party and the need to rescue the PDP from the impending collapse into irredeemable abyss and the lack of central co-ordination after the exit of critical stakeholders, resolved to appoint the highest elected public officer still in the PDP and House of Representatives member for Ideato North and South federal constituency, Rt. Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, as the state leader of the party.
“This is for Ugochinyere to lead the reorganization, restructuring and reconciliation that will help to rebuild and reform Imo PDP and lead the resolution of the crisis that has hit Imo PDP in all the 27 local governments where attempts were made to impose pro-APC loyalist as officers of the party.
“The forum also salutes the efforts of Ikenga in leading the charge to cleanse the PDP of political sellouts and traitors led by importers called Damagun and Anyawu who are shameless political agents of APC working to ensure PDP destruction ahead of 2027 general election and prays for the success of the battle to ease Anyawu and Damagun of the PDP within the shortest possible time,” it read.
