We, subsequently, urge our members and supporters to stay targeted and unshaken regardless of the efforts of fifth columnists to stoke confusion and distraction.
“Whereas completely condemning the continual assault on the workplace of the Nationwide Secretary of the celebration, as legitimately held by our chief in Imo State, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, by these individuals inside and outdoors the celebration, Imo PDP reiterates confidence in Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed as Appearing Nationwide Chairman of our nice celebration; Sen.
