The National Vice-Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (South-East Zone), Chief Ali Odefa, has reiterated the party was best positioned and poised to take over the reins of government come 2023, in Ebonyi State.
According to him, although the party has had its fair share of internal crises in the state, residents were resolute in the PDP to rescue them from the current economic 'doldrums' they found themselves in.
The PDP boss stated this during the party's Stakeholders' Meeting, in Abakaliki, on Sunday.
According to him, "The governorship candidate of PDP, Ebonyi State Chapter for the 2023 election remains Dr Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii.
"The essence of this meeting is to inform our party members and supporters of the decision of the National Working Committee and to further reconcile and harmonise amongst ourselves.
"There is no going to be fresh primaries. The legal department of our national Secretariat has done the legal analysis and has come up with its legal opinion, which is that there will be no primaries."
"I'm not in their belly or their minds. Normally, there may be people that are aggrieved or not happy with one decision or another but reconciliation is a continuous process. We're confident that everybody will eventually come together."
"Traditionally, Ebonyi is PDP predominantly until the Governor ran away with our mandate. However, I must admit that we have had our fair share of internal issues, but we are getting over it and the future looks very bright."
