Meanwhile, an APC chieftain in Abia state, Chief Nduka Anyanwu has raised an alarm accusing the Peoples Democratic Party in Abia state of desperation and sinister plots.

Anyanwu, a former member of the APC’s National Executive Committee, made this known when he hosted a meeting of members of Abia Central senatorial district of the party in his Ossa Ibeku home in Umuahia North local government area of the state.

According to Anyanwu, the plot is aimed at “weakening the growing membership of the party as credible alternative to the ruling party in the state ahead of the 2019 general election which we (the APC) are sure of victory.”
