Abia Youths Vow To Vote Out PDP In 2015

Abia Youths for Change, Lagos Chapter has con­demned the December 8, 2014 governorship primary in the state that produced Mr. Okezie Ik­peazu as the party’s flagbearer for the 2015 election, and vowed to vote against the party if the result was not reversed.
While speaking with journalists on Saturday, the youths alleged that the primary was marred with irregularities and accused the state governor of imposing his choice, Ikpeazu on the party ...against the people’s choice, Dr. Samson Uchechukwu Ogah.

According to the President of the group, Ikenna James, and the National President of Ohafia Youths, Engr. Ukariwe Ajike Godwin, delegates to the primary were ‘fake’ as they were selected by the governor.
“The supposed delegates were fake as they were chosen by the governor.
They were kept in governor’s house for 72hours and their phones seized so they could vote for the governor’s choice. Police and military men without army badge and names were used to
beat people,” they claimed.
They added: “We are not pleased with the out­come of the primary, so we want it declared null and void. President Jonathan should look
into Abia’s case or else we would mobilise Abians against PDP in 2015. Ikpeazu is not the people’s choice.”
“Abia is the worst governed state in Nigeria. Ikpeazu means the last person in Igbo language. The youths are yearning for change in Abia but the governor wants to bring somebody who will not perform like him.
