Description

Abia State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has again been confronted with two legal challenges, less than 3 weeks to the March 11 governorship contest.

This is owing to two court cases filed by Barr Okey Philip Igwe, the former running mate to late Prof Uche Ikonne, PDP’s former guber candidate and Chief Emma Nwaka, former State Chairman of PDP in the State and one of the aspirants in the last governorship primary election that produced Chief Okechukwu Ahaiwe as guber candidate.

The dropping of Hon Okey Philip Igwe as the running mate of the new guber candidate, Okey Ahaiwe, and his replacement with Hon Jasper Uche is the matter in dispute.
