Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seem to be jinxed
on controversy, and this has taken a new twist as the national headquarters of
the party in Abuja announced Mr. Tony Nwoye, in place of Senator Andy Uba as
its candidate for the November 16 Anambra governorship election.

The duo of Nwoye and Uba emerged as candidates at parallel congresses of the
party on Saturday in Awka, the Anambra State capital in what curious observers
described as an embarrassment to the self acclaimed ‘largest party’ in Africa.

The PDP National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur, stated the party’s position in
Abuja today while receiving the report of the party’s electoral panel chaired
by Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State.
The Shema-led panel conducted the primary won by Tony Nwoye.
The other primary, won by Mr. Uba, a serving senator, was conducted by the
parallel chairman of the PDP recognised by the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), Ejike Oguebeo.
Ken Emeakayi, is the factional chairman of Anambra PDP recognised by the
national leadership of PDP.
With the latest development Masquerade234 can authoritatively state that the
PDP is already courting its doom, because this was the same scenario which
played out in the party during the 2010 general election which saw All
Progressive Grand Alliance APGA clinch the governorship election for a second
term.
