Chairman of the Anambra State Peoples
Democratic Party governorship primaries, Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi,
yesterday revealed that they were threatened during the conduct of the
exercise.
Umahi, who stated this while presenting the
report of his committee to the Sen Ahmed Makarfi-led national caretaker
committee of the party, however did not reveal who threatened them.
He stated that his committee they did
everything possible to maintain high integrity, adding “we were threatened even
as governors.”
He however urged party members to desist fro
heading to court over decisions reached by the leadership of the party, noting
that the import of the Supreme Court judgement means that decision of the party
is Supreme.
“Any Member going to Court over dissolution of
party executive is ignorant.”
“We must do away with the mindset of people
going to assignments like this to seek money. We had no interaction with
anybody. We did everything possible to maintain high integrity. There is not
threat we didn’t get even as governors. But after we said our prayers we said
whatever will happen should happen.”
He added “We must not send persons that we
can’t vouch for their character to conduct party primaries.”
He however canvassed for an early conduct of
the party’s forthcoming convention.
