The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State, Wednesday, dismissed the rumor that the Adhoc team sent from the national Secretariat of the party to conduct a 3-man delegate congress for the party primaries was hijacked contrary to speculation.
Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Chika Nwoba disclosed this while briefing journalists on the delegate congress held in Abakaliki.
According to Nwoba the exercise which could not hold on Tuesday took place on Wednesday and was peaceful.
He said, “The Adhoc team that came from Abuja has gone to various local government areas.
“We don’t have any hitch in the 3-man delegate list, we don’t have any problem whatsoever.
“The issue of 3-man delegate will be over today because on 7th, we are having the House of Assembly primary election.
“Nobody has to hijacked anything because the Adhoc team was sent from Abuja Secretariat, they have come here, they have met with INEC. So, where is the hijack coming from? So, nobody has hijacked anything.
“There was shooting around the party Secretariat but that security was coming from the Police because party members were circumventing the Adhoc team that came for the delegate congress. Police found it necessary to fire shot to the air to avoid possible attack on the Adhoc team,” he said.
