The national vice chairman (South East) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Chidibere Egwu, has warned those allegedly plotting to hijack the party in the zone ahead of the 2027 election to have a rethink, saying such attempt would be resisted.

This was contained in a statement he jointly signed with the zonal organising secretary, Hon. Mike Ahumibe, while reacting to an alleged stakeholders’ meeting scheduled to hold at the Government House Enugu.

The PDP officials explained that the party remains the platform for justice, equity, and democratic engagement, and will not allow its structures to be hijacked or manipulated by individuals with no legal or moral standing in the party.

They also described the scheduled meeting as inappropriate, unconstitutional, and of no binding effect on the structures of PDP in the South East zone.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Constitution of our great party is explicit that the only person empowered to convene meetings of the South East zonal organ of the party is the South East zonal vice chairman,” the statement read.
